i was pleasantly surprised with isaac’s school picture. more specifically, his smile. we’ve had some crazy ones in the past, and this one seemed pretty normal. i DO wish someone had helped him straighten his bow tie before the picture was taken, though. i’ve been working fast and furious to try to get a quilt […]
lid kid everyday life
halloween festivities.
thursday was halloween. in case you missed it. isaac had a party at school to celebrate. well, not a party. a “special snack”. because they are allowed only two official parties in the year. so, i think they save them for the “winter break” and end of year. anyhooo… we (some moms) rolled in with […]
some october pics.
here’s the random, miscellaneous, mundane stuff that’s been going on around here for the last three weeks or so… we have been letting anna sleep on the bottom of isaac’s bunk bed a little more and a little more as we prepare for her room to be temporarily surrendered to the baby. eventually, she and […]
crazy kidney week.
so. well. we had a little excitement last week. on sunday night, i started to feel a little blah. then, that evening my lower back started to hurt. a lot. i hit up a heating pad and some baths and nothing was touching it. then, a fever rolled onto the scene. around 2 or so, […]
this is just how i blog now.
i know when i’ve been defeated. i can admit it. posting once every week or so, and just throwing up a bunch of captioned pics seems to be the way things are going now. and i’m ok with it. this blog post will be no different. it goes back about two and a half weeks […]
30 weeks.
tomorrow, i will be 30 weeks of pregnant. 10 left. to derek, that’s 10 weekends left to get things together and ready, because it gets a little crazytown after that. plus we have the added bonus of trying to get christmas shopping, wrapping and decorating done, mostly for the two previously existing kiddos. anyhow, i’m […]
catching up. again. sigh.
once again, i find myself not doing well with this whole keeping up with my blog. so, here’s another conglomeration of instagram pictures and some that didn’t make the instagram cut. detailing our life in the last few weeks. this cute girl LOVES to draw. i love it. i was the same way. i remember […]
first grade. first day.
our summer came to a screeching halt this past sunday night and on monday morning, we were thrown back into the world of packing lunches, rushing to get ready in the morning, checking homework folders, car pick up lines and stop light behavior management plans (“were you on green today??”)… isaac requested that he wear […]
our boring summer…
not much exciting happening over here. we’ve had the girls a lot, which limits our ability to get out and about. and drains us for our days off, so that we wind up just lounging around a lot. needless to say, our to do list hasn’t even been dented. here’s some noteworthy (sort of) pictures […]
anna’s portraits…
the annababy is becoming quite a little artist. her potato people have transformed and she’s including so many little details. and big details – like bodies. 🙂 here’s some that i’ve managed to capture on digital media before she destroys or erases it… a portrait of foofa, plex, and toodee. in chalk. here are foofa, […]
