well, when i last posted, we were in the redwoods area of way northern california. from there, we moved up the coast a bit, crossing into oregon for a week on the coast. originally, we had planned a bit more time in another part of the redwoods, but we were worried about the internet, so […]

theannababy turns EIGHT!!
yesterday, this tiny human turned eight. she’s turning into a super cool medium sized human, right before my eyes. she is adventurous and curious and smart and thoughtful and funny and creative. she loves wildlife and nature and art and minecraft and camping and hiking and rock climbing. she wants to be a geologist or […]
isaac = eleven.
last week, this guy turned ELEVEN. i have no idea how this happened. like all lidkids on their birthday, i made him pose for some photos. and he looks so grown. i told him to hold up eleven fingers, and he did this. he wanted chocolate muffins (which are really just oversized chocolate chip cupcakes) […]
crazelnut is FOUR!!!
somehow. it has been four entire years, since the crazelnut came bursting onto the scene. ok, that’s a lie, she basically had to be dragged out, begrudgingly, onto the scene. but now that she’s here, she’s making the most of it. i don’t even know how to begin to describe this kid. she’s a mess. […]
the anna baby is seven!
while we were in the internet abyss of sugarite canyon state park, the annababy had a birthday. i tried really hard to make it special, with no family, friends or cool things to do in the area. she didn’t seem to mind. we started with a birthday morning photoshoot, like we used to do at […]

asheville nc week (long post).
after spending 5 weeks at home with the grandlidboms, getting back on the road was a tough transition for our posse. the super cold and often rainy weather conditions didn’t help matters. but we managed to find a few fun things to do and survived our first week back in the camper, near lovely asheville, […]
hazel’s super early birthday party.
while we were “home”, we also managed to squeeze in a little birthday celebration for the crazelnut. her actual birthday is in a week, but we will be all alone on the road, so we had a little family party between our thanksgiving and our extra early family christmas. since i sold all of my […]
the big four oh.
while we were in nc with family, we celebrated halloween, my birthday, thanksgiving, hazel’s birthday and christmas. we crammed a lot in. this post is about my birthday. my 40th birthday to be exact. i celebrated a night early with the family. on my actual bday, i went out to the porch (my fave) with […]
the anna baby is SIX!!
well, the anna baby is six now. i suppose we should stop calling her a baby. nah. anyhow, her birthday festivities were much more chill than last year. (hint: princess anna and elsa came). we had hoped to have a little park play day and birthday cake for all of her friends and some of […]
