two sad quilts.
a bit of background. i have some friends. who had two kiddos. the oldest, a girl named corban, was born with some sort of super rare chromosome abnormality (i’m not exactly sure it even has a name). when she was born, they weren’t sure she would make it through the night. she was in the […]
nine months.

the hazel baby is turned nine months old yesterday. she’s been on the outside for as long as she was on the inside. (in theory. she spent an extra week on the inside, in case you forgot.) i spent the day trying to get just one good picture of her and this was as good […]
our first attempt at (circus) camping…

ok. so, we had the bright idea to attempt to camp with the three little people. one of whom, i may have mentioned, is the WORST sleeper. sounds fun, right? derek did all of the legwork. he purchased and sorted and packed and prepared all of the supplies and sundries. (my new fave word). he […]

fam beach trip. beach and carnival.

thursday and friday of our beach trip were beeee-autiful. so off to the beach we went. we lost hazel’s swim suit bottoms in laundry. derek suggested she just wear the rash guard with a swim diaper. i reminded him that she needed to look top notch for instagrams and blogs… so, we dusted off anna’s […]
family beach trip. no sand day.

i’m never going to finish all of these posts. this is wednesday of our trip, i think. we opted to not go to the beach. cleaning sand off three little people gets tiring. and we needed a break. so, off to the pool. then back to the room for freezie pops. girls. boy. then, we […]
