december. so busy. we kicked it off this year with a park playdate on a beautiful day. hazel is currently in full wrecker mode. she prowls around the house, looking for opportunities. her favorite go-to’s is the book shelf. she is fast. and stealthy. went up to check on kids the other night before bedtime. […]
lewisville christmas parade.
yesterday was the lewisville christmas parade. we didn’t get to go last year because of hazel and the business of her being born and all newborn and such. but we’ve gone in most of the years past. this year. isaac was in it, with his boy scout pack. so fun. the weather was glorious and […]
hazel’s birthday party. (parties).
and now. a gratuitous amount of hazel eating cake pictures. first up. her actual birth day. we just had a little family only cupcake party. hazel. not a fan. (truth be told, she was crying because we told her not to touch the flame). she recovered nicely, and dug into the delicious frosting. she took […]
hazel is ONE!
a year ago, at this time, i had just finished up this exciting adventure. now. here we are a year later. and sweet hazel is one. no longer a baby. a toddler. she’s so different from the other two. she talks a lot more. she can say mom, dad, isaac, anna, peekaboo, uh oh, giddyup, […]
mountain getaway.
last weekend, we made a semi-spontaneous trip to the mountains for a little family getaway. we started it out by turning hazel’s seat around. she’s a few days shy of one, but not if you count from her due date. actually, i think the law might be two years old now. which is ridiculous. anyhooo… […]
november…
i sucked at blogging in november. but, aside from the barrage of posts from yesterday, here’s what else has gone down. as per my usual, it’s mostly just instagram pics. hazel. cute. on a quilt. in the “good natural light” corner. lots of campfires in the chilly-ish nights. marshmallow roaster, extraordinaire. kitchen table quilt fortress […]
family patchwork stockings.
ok. background story. we have fancy cross stitch ll bean stockings for our family. except hazel. last year. when i was deciding whether or not to get her one (because she would be born just before christmas but probably wouldn’t notice a lack of stocking), i waffled one too many times. and no stocking was […]
birthday weekend at the beach. (sewing).
a few weekends ago, i went with three quilty friends to a quilting retreat, hosted by the triangle modern quilt guild. at the beach. bonus info: it was also my birthday weekend. on the way down, we stopped at two quilt shops in chapel hill and raleigh. upon arrival at the (super fancy pants) hotel, […]
open wide zipper pouches.

(more about that later). i wish i had better pics. then, i fired up four for ike and anna’s teachers and assistants. anna’s assistant teacher. anna’s teacher. ike’s teacher […]
eleven months.
well. i’m a bit late on this post. a few weeks ago, hazel turned 11 months. our photoshoot was a total failure. she’s too busy to sit for even just one pic. i managed to get this good shot with the big sis. snuggling with the bunny. i’m closer to 12 months (ONE YEAR!!) and […]
