since i didn’t get to see isaac do his egg hunt at his grandparent’s on sunday, i held a private egg hunt for him on monday afternoon. i don’t know if it’s as exciting without the thrill of competition, but it’s probably nice to have all the candy to yourself. 🙂 the take off: searching: […]

put a coat on, you’ll catch pneumonia!
this post is a bit overdue. on monday, anna’s doc diagnosed her with pneumonia. here’s the story. last wednesday, we noticed she had a fever. or maybe it was tuesday. ok, maybe we aren’t that good at “noticing”. but, she for sure had a fever wednesday and thursday. but, it was low. like 101ish. so, […]
delicious delicious birds nests
for some reason, i decided it would be a really great idea to make coconut/white chocolate bird’s nests with isaac for our little easter party. he did a great job helping…. i’m too lazy to narrate…
the coloring of easter eggs
it’s almost easter. so, isaac and i decided to color some eggs. luckily, i had boiled some up, in anticipation of this very moment. (we often boil up large batches of eggs for high protein snacks, so it could have gone either way and we’d be happy). anyhow, i got anna to sleep, which is […]
most wonderful time of the year.
we are in the middle of the approximately one month long season of spring where the weather in north carolina is 100% awesome. it’s just after the short winter where everyone gripes about schools closing for pending inclement weather and ice storms shut down the state every few weeks. and it’s just before the 9 […]

strawberry shortcake love
the day before the chuckie cheese birthday adventure, isaac and i went shopping for the perfect gift for his friend. not knowing a single thing about her, i went with my childhood favorite, strawberry shortcake. isaac was pretty excited about this too. he examined her for the rest of the target trip. talked about her […]
chuckie cheese birthday parteeee…
a little girl in isaac’s preschool class had a birthday party at chuckie cheese’s after school yesterday. so, on monday, we picked out the perfect gift, wrapped it and geared up for the big adventure. i guess isaac has seen some commercials for chuckie cheese, because he knew all about the big mouse and wasn’t […]
frankenstein
well, the day has finally arrived. a few weeks ago (months?), anna started taking a few steps here and there, but needed much prompting, cheering, and the proper environment. now, she’s a full fledged walker. on the go. it’s so funny how differently she arrived at this point than isaac. he just would let go […]
