lid kid everyday life
the last bit of randomness from 2013.
warning. lots of cute pics on the way. but, first. some brutal honesty. things have been difficult around here. we have been having a really hard time with isaac and anna for the last few months. we hoped that it was just some tension because the baby was on the way. and we had hoped […]
christmas day. 2013.
(note: this is the first of a bunch of posts i plan on making today.) this christmas was a little bit crazy. we have a newborn. so we kept it all low key. but first things first. the presents. pics aren’t that great. we need a fancy sports lens to get all the fast paced […]

clean baby.
hazel had her first bath yesterday. well. aside from the sponge bath in the hospital from our nurse friend, angela. but this one would be way better, immersed in the warm water. while the rest of the family looked on… wet babies are slippery little suckers. fresh clean baby:
my last night of pregnancy.
well. we went to the doc today. and they pretty much induce at 41 weeks. which is wednesday for me. so, we scheduled to be induced tomorrow. and the hospital gave us 430am as our time slot. thanks for that. i just packed up the kiddos to head to gramma’s. derek is getting me one […]
