yep. it’s been awhile since my last post. and over the last few weeks, we’ve arrived at a huge decision. we are taking isaac out of school to homeschool. in two days. friday will be his last day. and we will start monday. exciting. terrifying. relieving. all at once. here’s how we arrived at this […]
lid kid everyday life
62 days. 2 months. 1/6 years.

yesterday, this girl turned two months old. for her two month birthday gift, we went to the doctor on friday for a checkup and shots. she’s now a whopping 22.5″ long (which seemed a little suspect since she was super wiggly and pretty much sideways when they marked it on the paper). anyhow. that’s the […]
older lid kid conversations.
i used to be better about documenting the things my kids say. but, alas, now i’m not so good at it. but, the last week or so has produced some gems. so, i am compelled to post. we often tell anna that we can’t understand her when she talks with a pacifier in her mouth. […]
much ado about nothing.

things have been pretty boring around here. standard kid stuff. he’s way too many pictures to document our lack of anything exciting… the first of many hazel pictures. naturally. sad sad anna, after we told her about lucy killing our favorite chicken, tina fey. i had to promise her we would get more chickens. we […]
snow day!!!!!!!

the lego birthday party.

for some reason, i thought it would be a good idea to have a birthday party in our home. with a newborn. with six boys. ages 6 and 7. and make individual cakes for the kids to decorate. i’m obviously not thinking clearly in my sleep deprived state. here’s how it went. earlier this week, […]
seven.

on friday, isaac t. lidbom turned seven. SEVEN. i can’t even believe it. seems like just yesterday that we were bringing home that screaming little bundle of feisty joy and starting our lives as parents. he has, for sure, kept us on our toes. he’s packed to the rafters with endless energy. and is completely […]
rainbow brite.

had a rainbowrific photoshoot with hazel today. she turned a whopping 6 weeks yesterday, but was in no mood to commemorate the ocassion.
one month.

phew. this past month has flown by. and it has dragged on endlessly. all at the same time. hazel is one month old. we really like her. she looks like a perfect mix between isaac and anna. it’s crazy. i just want to smoosh her little face. i think i’ve kissed her one million times […]
