finally, the last in my series of posts about anna’s birthday party… i made these two things for her to wear to her rainbow-ific event. 1) a rainbow bib to smear rainbow cake all over. i used leftover fabric from her quilt (and some from ike’s quilt). and manhandled my worst binding job ever. but, […]

cake smashing.
i made (maybe i mentioned this) an 8 inch cake for the grownups and a 6 inch smash cake for anna. after our 1st birthday experience with isaac (he screamed the whole time and wouldn’t touch the cake), i figured we had nowhere to go but up… anna was a little apprehensive at first, but […]
annababy b-day party: the guests.
i wish i could have invited more people, but we don’t have the biggest house (or the biggest budget), and i was really nervous about what would happen if the weather turned ugly. fortunately, it was beautiful, and it was still a tight squeeze for all who made it. (a good excuse for people not […]
rainbow-ific party for annababy
the whole thing started when i made a rainbow-y type layer cake a little while back. i decided then and there that for anna’s first birthday, a 6 layer rainbow cake would be in order. normally, we haven’t been too extravagant with our birthday celebrations, but something about a may birthday and a new grill […]
annababy birthday: the cake.
for anna’s birthday, i went with a big rainbow cake, a smaller (still big) smash rainbow cake and some rainbow cupcakes to add some color. 🙂 first up, the rainbow cake… after layering, before frosting: the crumb coat: fully frosted: the cupcakes (minus the pink ones): the full display: and finally, the rainbow cake, cut […]
happy birthday annababy!!

put a coat on, you’ll catch pneumonia!
this post is a bit overdue. on monday, anna’s doc diagnosed her with pneumonia. here’s the story. last wednesday, we noticed she had a fever. or maybe it was tuesday. ok, maybe we aren’t that good at “noticing”. but, she for sure had a fever wednesday and thursday. but, it was low. like 101ish. so, […]
most wonderful time of the year.
we are in the middle of the approximately one month long season of spring where the weather in north carolina is 100% awesome. it’s just after the short winter where everyone gripes about schools closing for pending inclement weather and ice storms shut down the state every few weeks. and it’s just before the 9 […]
frankenstein
well, the day has finally arrived. a few weeks ago (months?), anna started taking a few steps here and there, but needed much prompting, cheering, and the proper environment. now, she’s a full fledged walker. on the go. it’s so funny how differently she arrived at this point than isaac. he just would let go […]
