last year, since i was super pregnant, when the modern maples craze swept the quilt world, i opted to just make a few small placemats for our family. this year, i started seeing them pop up in instagramland and i knew that i just had to make a quilt this time around. with no projects […]

our first halloween with three kiddos. well, three kiddos in the outside world. last year, i got to drag my fat, pregnant butt around the neighborhood. this year, i was just fat. ha. anyhooooo… we had dinner at five. got dressed and ready. and then acted like crazy people until it was socially acceptable to […]
lazy five ranch.
a few days (weeks) ago, our friend stephanie invited us to go to lazy 5 ranch with her family. they had won some tickets and couldn’t use them all and anna and kaylin are super good friends and we’ve never been, so we gladly took them up on their offer. poor isaac missed out, because […]

leaves!
fall is in full swing and leaves are filling up our backyard. so, obviously, we made a pile for the kids to jump in. and by we, i mean derek. contemplating their strategy. as always, anna preferred to just sit in the leaves with her stuffed animals and bury herself and play pretend. isaac stomped […]

ten months.
yesterday, hazel reached the ripe old age of ten months. i attempted photoshoots in various locations, but she is a kid on the go, so we struggled. she’s picked up a lot of tricks in the last month. she just started responding to the age old question, “how big is hazel??” (answer: “sooooo big” with […]
