on saturday, i went yard sale-ing with my pal jude. it was one of those sweet yard sale days where i just kept finding sweet sweet deals. one of the best was this radio flyer trike (with handle) that i scored for $20 for anna. it’s $100 new. the hat she’s wearing was also a […]

summer ’12 to do
with one day of school left for the boy, we decided to assemble our second annual summer to do list. the first one was a big hit, and this year’s looks very similar. why ruin a good thing? we left some space to add in some extra ideas.
children’s museum. again.
on thursday, we hit up the children’s museum again. we’re shooting to really get our money’s worth out of this year membership… plus, i wanted to sign isaac up for a summer camp that they have there at the end of summer. construction junction. :). they build forts and sugar cube igloos and so on.

the annababy is two!!
happy birthday to the annababy. at this time, 2 years ago, i was just waking up from a little rest, afforded to me by my good friend the epidural. within the hour, however, you’d be here, changing our little family forever… the first year flew by. we had a rainbow-rific bash for your first birthday.

i seriously keep meaning for this blog to be more like it was back in the day when i first started it. where i actually posted regularly. and i wrote words. not just pictures pictures pictures all the time. it’s all facebook’s fault. so, here’s a bunch of words, to hopefully bring everything up to […]
old friends.
