well, we went to florida, for my gramps memorial service. we left last saturday and got back on friday. anna, who is already a bit clingy, did not fare well on the trip. there were so many strange faces. faces attached to bodies attached to arms that were endlessly reaching out to hold her. and […]
blog pledge.
since facebook rolled up on the scene, my blogging has gotten worse and worse. i sort of feel like no one really reads the blog anymore. not even my mom. so what’s the point. and i feel like everything is redundant because i’ve already posted it on facebook. not to mention how easy it is […]
veggie tales cupcakes
isaac will be four (what?!?!?!) next tuesday. his school party is tomorrow. after much deliberation as to whether he wanted super mario (again), toy story, angry birds (my favorite idea) or veggie tales, he finally settled on veggie tales. so, i made them today. i like all of the characters except for the stupid peas […]

the stander
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 […]
