it’s a well known fact that i don’t buy my kids new clothes. well, occasionally, i encounter something that i can’t pass up. but, mostly, my kids are clad in hand-me-downs, megathrift finds and consignment sale clothings. this friday, after i dropped ike off at school, i carted anna off to a local preschool and […]
anna
another family visit in the books.
my mom, stepdad and brother came down for a visit this weekend. they rolled in at 330 am on saturday morning. spent three whirlwind days here. and just packed up and headed out a few minutes ago. isaac is bummed. anna is still sleeping and i’m not sure how she’ll respond. lucy (world’s dumbest dog) […]
tutu party
today was our friend addison’s 2 year birthday party. since she turned two on 2/2, her parents threw her a tutu party. i had to wake anna from her nap early to go. she wasn’t happy. strawberries: cupcake: all the kids trying to sit still for a pic: anna, at home, where i could finally […]
party time. excellent.
so, yesterday, we had two big bashes for ike’s fifth birthday. first, 6 or so of his best buds joined us at bounce u for some running, jumping, sliding, wrestling and general mayhem. i never get good pics in bounce u. too much motion. terrible lighting. iphone camera. it all adds up to a bunch […]

christmas. belated.
a long time ago, it was christmas. and i took some pictures. with my phone. and i kept thinking that once i sat down to sync up my phone, i would get the pics and a glorious blog post would follow. then, i didn’t sync my phone. and the pictures got shoved further and further […]
anna, parks, friends.
the weather has been pretty mild here in the carolinas this almost-winter… we’ve been out to the park twice in the last week. i didn’t get many pics of the kids at the first park. mostly because it’s got a ginormous two story play structure that my kids seem to have very little fear of, […]
Christmas Cupcakery
our december meeting for the triad modern quilt guild was officially (we voted) changed to a christmas party and i decided to dust off the cake decorating supplies to whip up some cute little christmas themed cupcake toppers. as always, my trusty sidekick was available to help mix: and my newest trusty sidekick was available […]
