it goes like this… isaac has never had a big cool birthday party. but, this year, having had to share his life with a baby sister, we thought maybe we’d spring for a bit bigger of a bash and have some friends. maybe at the bouncing place. it was going to be a lot of […]
anna
the clinger
well, we went to florida, for my gramps memorial service. we left last saturday and got back on friday. anna, who is already a bit clingy, did not fare well on the trip. there were so many strange faces. faces attached to bodies attached to arms that were endlessly reaching out to hold her. and […]
ice cream
we met heather and her two girls for some tasty chick-fil-a for lunch (and energy expending) on tuesday. anna had her first taste of ice cream. she wasn’t really a fan of eating the ice cream. just playing with the spoon seemed to work for her though. anyhoo. here’s some shots: livy: maya: isaac (who […]

i’m not smart enough to embed this video of anna into this post, so until i figure that out (or derek figures it out for me), you’ll have to click this link to see the girl stand all by herself for 10 seconds or so… the stander.

a-n-n-a flannel letters
made these awhile back to hang in the anna baby’s room. i had been on the search for some letters for her name, but couldn’t decide what i wanted to do. i saw a tutorial for a whole alphabet of these letters that i had filed away for a rainy day. then it hit me… […]
anna baby’s quilt
yesterday was my birthday. isaac finally went to school in the morning (after a week off from illness). and anna slept for 2.5 straight hours yesterday morning. glorious. anyhow, it freed me up to make some really great progress on her quilt. enough that i was compelled to stay up late last night and finish […]
