so. a little background first. the trip i took to florida with the girls last month was supposed to also have a trip to disney and universal tacked on. as we planned, it just wasn’t looking like the best financial decision. and the logistics of it all weren’t coming together as wonderfully as we had […]
anna
theannababy turns five.
on friday, may 8th, the anna baby turned five. we kicked things off with a frozen themed photoshoot in front of the big chalkboard. and then an oatmeal breakfast complete with a birthday candle. at school, she had a little birthday celebration, complete with gramma stopping by to read knuffle bunny and a rousing version […]
the april post.
ugh. i started this post on may 1. but it’s been a bit crazy around here with projects and school parties and anna’s birthday!!! (that post to come. soon. maybe.) anyhow. rewind about 40 days and that’s where this post begings. park day with friends. anna, swinging with her bff, natalie. the crazel. hazel and […]
kristin boone is the bomb.
my pal kristin boone, who is the best photographer around, took some pics of my kids a few weeks ago. and like always. they are AMAZING. i like to think my cute kids have something to do with this. but, seriously though. kristin gets the best out of them. and they are always way more […]
a chicken tale.
so. when i was writing my post for march, i intentionally left out all of our baby chick pics, deciding that a dedicated baby chicken post was in order. at the time, it was going to be a delightful tale, with future volumes. such is not the case. i’ll start from the beginning. we are […]
sunshiny florida trip. part 2.
on our third day in florida, we laid pretty low. we skipped the beach and instead headed to the pool. i took exactly zero pictures at the pool. because of having to hold so many non-swimmers and such. then, hazel caught up on some MUCH needed sleep and we just lounged around the trailer park. […]
sunshiny florida trip. part 1.
ok. i’m skipping around. we actually just got back from this trip, so this isn’t belated. well, technically it is. but, by my dismal standards, it’s super early. some background. in october, my gramma died. (that post is here.) anyhoo. like with my gramps, a memorial service was planned for a later date, so that […]
belated (mostly instagrams) march post.
beware: this post contains 45 pictures from the lid kid month of march. we kicked off march with derek and isaac heading out of town to a wedding, so i just had the girls. which meant anna watched a lot of frozen and slept in the bed with me and dressed like a princess and […]
belated easter post.
yep. i’m about to play another round of bloggy catch up. first up. easter. the eggs dying. and the egg hunt. the egg dying went as you might suspect. same as every family. for the last 100 years, i suppose. we used two dye kits this year. one standard (except for being neon colors) and […]
february in 35 pictures.
it seems i’m getting worse and worse at consistent blogging, despite my attempts to get better and better at consistent blogging. it’s been a rather crazy month. i kicked it off by returning from batavia for my uncle ray’s funeral. i had a nice day of recovering and settling back in, but awoke in the […]
