when we decided to go for baby number three, i knew that i wanted to make a quilt with little apples. for one, it’s mostly gender neutral. and i loved it. and a fat quarter bundle was on super good sale on etsy. so, here we are, anticipating baby number three in four months or […]
godzilla vs. strawberry shortcake.
we had our ultrasound for the third (and final) baby yesterday. and…. it’s a girl! the kids had picked out names for a boy (godzilla) and a girl (strawberry shortcake), so it looks like godzilla will be have to put on the back burner for a potential pet or future grandchildren. (note: we already have […]
when we aren’t on vacation…
we’ve been on vacation for a good chunk of the summer so far. well. just the beach and batavia. but it seems like a lot. anyhow… here’s what’s been going on when we haven’t been traveling… we signed up for free weekday bowling with amf. we’ve only been once, with our pals, the pattisalls, but […]
adventures in babysitting.

visiting leslie and co.

sand, surf, sun.
i have no desire to narrate our trip to the beach. it was supposed to be rainy all week, but each day, i woke up and the weather forecast had magically changed overnight and the weather was great. we went to the beach everyday and the pool on most days. last year, it rained so […]
