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. […]
lid kid everyday life
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!!!!!!!
like the rest of the united states of america, we are experiencing some super wintry weather around these parts. yesterday, the kids were sent home early, because of the pending snow “storm”. it did snow. and it was very cold. and the kids checked every few minutes to see if enough snow had accumulated to […]
cake tests, painting, baby teeth
it’s time! for another post of hijacked instagram pictures… before i committed to making lego man cakes for a group of small children, i did a trial run, to see if i could handle the task. the frosted version. frosting was tedious, but i was pretty sure i could handle it on a smallish scale. […]
the lego birthday party.

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 […]

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 […]
