my pal kristin boone takes amazing pictures. she came over to meet hazel and snapped a few pics of her when she was about a week old. and, like always. they are awesome. my family is in town right now. crazytown. they leave tomorrow. and then, thursday, i’m officially on my own, with three little […]
oh you know, just some random pics…
when we found ourselves with an extra weekend before hazel arrived, we tried to do some fun things with the kids… like christmas shaped pancakes with some sprinkles… check out anna’s sweet pigtails… the wink of approval… after the appointment where we scheduled the induction of a super late hazel, i returned home to find […]
cookie mayhem. 2013 edition.
ok. so, knowing hazel was making an early december arrival, i knew i wouldn’t be making a bunch of christmas cookies, as i have in years past. but, i definitely wanted to make cut out cookies with the kids, because that’s super fun, and i didn’t want hazel to steal all of the christmas thunder… […]
clean baby.
hazel had her first bath yesterday. well. aside from the sponge bath in the hospital from our nurse friend, angela. but this one would be way better, immersed in the warm water. while the rest of the family looked on… wet babies are slippery little suckers. fresh clean baby:

a dreaded quilt finish.
last year, for Christmas, derek got me a tula pink salt water fat quarter bundle. i decided i would use it to make a quilt that was a bit more time consuming. not my “usual” (see: wonky star). and would be more challenging. i settled on a kaleidoscope quilt. as i am often prone to […]
the week in (very few) pictures.
(i’m still pregnant. and bags are packed. and things are mostly clean. and so on. so, i am blogging.) we had thanksgiving at derek’s sister’s house. here’s the kidz table. it was very giggly. the cousins exchanged gifts (mostly because we got them a lego star wars advent calendar and we don’t have the family […]
