a boring august recap.
the second half of summer flew past in a flash. i hit up some consignment sales for clothes for the annababy, who can still squeeze into 4t clothes, but they are quite short. i took her with me, and wound up purchasing a darth vader costume, which she insisted on wearing everywhere, much to the amusement […]
the first day of school.
on monday, the summer came screeching to a halt, and the two oldest lid kids had their first day of school. a new school. isaac tested into the HAG (highly academically gifted) program, which is only at two schools in our system. fortunately, it’s only about 6 minutes away from where we live. anyhow, anna […]

spontaneous mountain getaway.
so. derek’s parents and sister’s family and sister’s husband’s parents were in the mountains. i was hoping to maybe take the three lid kids up for a day trip, but when we mentioned it, derek’s dad swooped into action and found us a super cheap place to stay for a few days. (and he footed […]
