lid kid everyday life
end of childhood year picnic
so, i lied a little. i said that friday was isaac’s last day of preschool. and it was. but, he still had one more event to attend, to cap off his year. an end of year party at joanie moser park. monday. first things first, ike had to show off his swinging skills. there were […]
last day.
friday was ike’s last day of preschool. he has a party at the park tomorrow, but that doesn’t count, because i have to be there. it only counts if i have the morning off from two kids. 🙂 anyhow, i thought i would document via iphone photo. if i was awesome, like the moms on […]
nine.
nine years ago today, this happened. it was unseasonably cold. and rainy. but, made for great pictures. (my brother jake, when he was the cutest kid on earth.) ps. that’s the moses cone manor house on the blue ridge parkway, if you’re thinking it looks familiar. 🙂

summer ’12 to do

five years.
in january, ike turned five. every year, we get further and further behind in scheduling his checkup. for shots and/or insurance, they have to be a full year apart and usually we go about a year and a few weeks… so, my point is, we went for his checkup on wednesday. may 9th. 🙂 i […]
children’s museum. again.
on thursday, we hit up the children’s museum again. we’re shooting to really get our money’s worth out of this year membership… plus, i wanted to sign isaac up for a summer camp that they have there at the end of summer. construction junction. :). they build forts and sugar cube igloos and so on. […]
the annababy is two!!
happy birthday to the annababy. at this time, 2 years ago, i was just waking up from a little rest, afforded to me by my good friend the epidural. within the hour, however, you’d be here, changing our little family forever… the first year flew by. we had a rainbow-rific bash for your first birthday. […]
