It’s Dixie Classic Fair week!We tried to go on Saturday, but had a long (and frustrating) encounter at Bank of America that left us a little strapped for time. So, Derek came home early yesterday and we headed there yesterday afternoon. We have some pictures, but they’re on Derek’s camera, so they’ll have to wait. […]
Adventures in the Triangle
On Sunday, Isaac and I made the long trek to the Raleigh/Durham region. We just came back last night and we’re both still recovering from our wild adventure. We got in around 7:30 pm and went to my old church and visited some old pals there. Then, we went over to the Minors to visit […]
Double The Fun
I’m babysitting an extra baby today. Baby Cora, who is 5 1/2 months old, is visiting for the day. She normally splits time between her grandparents, but one of them is sick in the hospital, so I’m trying to help out. Right now, both little ones are napping. Nice. We’ll see how it goes. My […]
8 Months.
Isaac is eight months old today. He’s getting so big. He changes everyday. It’s amazing. I could just sit and watch him play forever. I actually HAVE to sit and watch him play, or else he’ll climb onto something, under something, put things in his mouth, shut fingers in doors and drawers… etcetera. He’s a […]
The Battle of the Crab Grass
Our whole yard has been taken over by crab grass. I tried to keep up with it in our first summer here. And last summer, I managed for awhile, but the war was won towards the end of summer. This year, with a monsterbaby, I was ill-equipped to go to battle, so the crab grass […]
New Pictures
Here’s some pictures of the little man. He’s doing great (except for the misery of teething – there are three top teeth poking through and I think the fourth is not far behind). We weighed him this morning and he came in at a whopping 20 pounds. Somebody or somebodies said something about “they grow […]
Meet in the Middle
On Friday, we left for Morgantown, West Virginia, which is approximately halfway between Batavia, NY and Lewisville, NC. My Mom and Jake drove down and we met at a lovely little hotel, well off the beaten path. On the ride up, the boy didn’t much go for car sleeping, so it got pretty stressful around […]
Make that FOUR
So, upon further inspection into the mouth of one (not happy to cooperate) Isaac T. Lidbom, it has come to my attention that he has not just one top tooth coming in, but two. Here’s the weird part. It’s not the top middles. It’s the ones on both sides of the middle two teeth. So, […]
Three Teeth
Isaac’s third tooth has arrived on the scene.He’s been scraping his bottom two across his top gums for a couple of weeks now, so we knew it was coming. I felt around yesterday and felt the little hard ridge of sharp tooth poking through.The little man is getting so big!!
