it’s been a pretty mild winter so far and we’ve been able to go to the park a few times. it’s nice when the kids get their energy all out. but usually anna just wants to swing the whole time. and isaac wants to sit around and tell me stories about super mario brothers. at […]
christmas. belated.
a long time ago, it was christmas. and i took some pictures. with my phone. and i kept thinking that once i sat down to sync up my phone, i would get the pics and a glorious blog post would follow. then, i didn’t sync my phone. and the pictures got shoved further and further […]
