first, some background info: isaac had a favorite blanket. we never left home without it. he couldn’t sleep without it. we worried about what would ever happen if it were misplaced. we scoured the internet for backup blankets. we asked my gramma, who bought it for him in the first place, if she could rustle […]
lid kid everyday life
school photos.
last year, when i sent isaac off to school on picture day with a check for $39, i was a bit worried about what i would wind up with, since he was in a i-hate-having-my-picture-taken stage in his life. i was pleasantly surprised. fast forward to this year. isaac is in a i’m-not-really-sure-how-to-smile-on-command phase. and […]

(new) word press iphone app. take one.
I’ve been having a bit of trouble with my wordpress iPhone app. And by “a bit” I mean “a lot”. For a very long time, it crashed uncontrollably. They made a few changes which complicated everything and it still crashed all the time. Then, I couldn’t login, even though I was certain I had the […]
