our big kindergartener has been coming home with lots (millions, really) of classwork everyday. my favorite things are the sentences and occasional accompanying illustration. he had to write a weather report one day. this is very scientific. playing with john. “never gonna catch me!” a full report about his birthday sleepover. ixiding. he loves penelope […]
anna
charlotte family saturday.
with no pressing engagements or cakes or other such things to suck up our time this weekend, we decided to head south the the queen city of charlotte north carolina to check out the discovery place museum and possibly ikea. we’ve never been with our own kids, but i went with jake about 7 or […]
20 pictures.
i think all of our chickens are finally laying. including the easter eggers (americaunas), who lay greenish-blue eggs. anna still loves yo gabba gabba. mostly brobee. as evidenced by this picture. heather and her girls came over to play the other day. livy loves our chickens. anna is pretty crabby lately. we see this face […]
six.
yesterday was this guy’s birthday: i made him pose for various pictures in front of the chalkboard. i woke up early (well not really. i skipped the gym and actually woke up later. but i digress.) and made him bacon and pancakes. his favorite. and i made him eat in his underwear because i didn’t […]
boring blah january.
not a lot going on around here. it’s january. cold. boring. blah. we’re in the full swing of keeping our extra little buddy in the afternoons. he’s so cute and fun. both of my kids love him and i think he really likes hanging with us. he especially loves the chickens and collecting eggs. a […]
instagrammy and such
not much to report from around here. if you follow me on instagram, this will mostly be redundant. but, there’s a few new pictures thrown in… i don’t know if i’m overlapping other posts, but i’m too lazy to look back and see… anna and lucy. anna got this little drawing board for christmas, from […]
christmastime was here.

[…]
ymca santa series.
at the clemmons ymca, there’s a giant blowup santa near the door. every time i drag anna to the gym, she insists on taking her picture with the giant santa. following is the entire collection of these pictures. sadly, they took santa down last week. i don’t know why. he did seem prone to flailing […]
eggs!!!! (instagram style).
on wednesday, we were pleasantly surprised to find our first egg waiting for us in the nesting boxes. we’re pretty sure that chickensarahpowers (the rhode island red) is the proud mom. we weren’t really sure when to expect eggs because we’ve heard different things about how the cold of winter affects their egg production and […]
lidbom family christmas.
we had our christmas with derek’s family on sunday. his sister’s family spends christmas with the dad’s family, so the best day to get together was nine days before christmas. although, i’m not complaining. i kind of like spreading out the toy influx. the grownups sat at a fancy pants table with fine china. the […]
