thursday was halloween. in case you missed it. isaac had a party at school to celebrate. well, not a party. a “special snack”. because they are allowed only two official parties in the year. so, i think they save them for the “winter break” and end of year. anyhooo… we (some moms) rolled in with […]
anna
some october pics.
here’s the random, miscellaneous, mundane stuff that’s been going on around here for the last three weeks or so… we have been letting anna sleep on the bottom of isaac’s bunk bed a little more and a little more as we prepare for her room to be temporarily surrendered to the baby. eventually, she and […]
patterson farms. 2013 version.
on saturday, we headed out to our favorite “pumpkin patch”, located in mount ulla, north carolina, for a day of family fun and relaxation. :). warning. there’s a lot of pictures. obligatory indian corn and pumpkin diorama photo: other obligatory pumpkin growth chart photo: first things first. always the petting/feeding zoo. then, some face painting.

new favorite quilt!!!
i am so excited about this quilt. i had seen a lot of “scrappy trip along” quilts on the internets, but didn’t love them. they seemed way too busy to me. until i happened upon this one. i have been hoarding low volume prints for awhile and knew that this would be the perfect use […]
this is just how i blog now.
i know when i’ve been defeated. i can admit it. posting once every week or so, and just throwing up a bunch of captioned pics seems to be the way things are going now. and i’m ok with it. this blog post will be no different. it goes back about two and a half weeks […]

labor day mountain weekend
derek’s parents invited us up to blue ridge village for a labor day weekend in the mountains. it was good timing, because isaac’s first week of school was a little rough. for him and me. and, we didn’t accomplish as many items from our summer to do list as i had hoped, and this little […]
our boring summer…
not much exciting happening over here. we’ve had the girls a lot, which limits our ability to get out and about. and drains us for our days off, so that we wind up just lounging around a lot. needless to say, our to do list hasn’t even been dented. here’s some noteworthy (sort of) pictures […]
anna’s portraits…
the annababy is becoming quite a little artist. her potato people have transformed and she’s including so many little details. and big details – like bodies. 🙂 here’s some that i’ve managed to capture on digital media before she destroys or erases it… a portrait of foofa, plex, and toodee. in chalk. here are foofa, […]
little apples for baby three.
when we decided to go for baby number three, i knew that i wanted to make a quilt with little apples. for one, it’s mostly gender neutral. and i loved it. and a fat quarter bundle was on super good sale on etsy. so, here we are, anticipating baby number three in four months or […]
