i’m not smart enough to embed this video of anna into this post, so until i figure that out (or derek figures it out for me), you’ll have to click this link to see the girl stand all by herself for 10 seconds or so… the stander.

christmas cookies: 2010 edition
isaac’s preschool christmas party was supposed to be today, but schools across north carolina were canceled because of a bunch of ice falling from the skies and coating the ground. i was in charge of bringing cookies, frosting, sprinkles, et cetera, for the kids to decorate and take home. so, now, i’m stuck with a […]
lucky number seven.
the girl is seven months old on this day. she turned seven months way faster than isaac did. it’s flying by so fast. she’s super cute and fun these days. i love watching her face light up when she sees isaac. she can hear him when he comes down the stairs in the morning and […]
razzle dazzle gingerbread men.
on saturday, a massive snowstorm moved across our area, dropping down almost 3 whole inches. this raised our christmas spirit by 87%, so i offered to make cookies with isaac. he wasn’t interested in the making of cookies, but wanted to decorate more gingerbread like he had with jake over thanksgiving. rather than make gingerbread […]

0.5 years! (and one day)

halloween, part two. (the nerd).
as once promised, here are some additional halloween pictures. i did a terrible job of capturing the festivities via digital camera, but thankfully jude was on the scene with her fancy pants camera. she captured some shots of the oldest lid kid, dressed up in his nerd costume which i had NONE of. and a […]
pumpkins, cows, and nerds.
well, halloween was yesterday. here’s how that went down… first we painted and carved some pumpkins. i had not meant to put this off until the last minute. i bought paint last week with every intention of painting with the boy during one of anna’s 30 minute naps. ambitious, i know. well, that never happened […]
