like the rest of the united states of america, we are experiencing some super wintry weather around these parts. yesterday, the kids were sent home early, because of the pending snow “storm”. it did snow. and it was very cold. and the kids checked every few minutes to see if enough snow had accumulated to […]
chickens
our sarahpowers and leafy weekend.
on saturday, i loaded up ike and anna for a day trip to raleigh to visit sarahpowers and max. she had some important baby items for me, and we hadn’t been out there since max was born, almost 2 years ago. i used to live in the raleigh area (cary, raleigh, north raleigh, morrisville, etc). […]
catching up. again. sigh.
once again, i find myself not doing well with this whole keeping up with my blog. so, here’s another conglomeration of instagram pictures and some that didn’t make the instagram cut. detailing our life in the last few weeks. this cute girl LOVES to draw. i love it. i was the same way. i remember […]
when we aren’t on vacation…
we’ve been on vacation for a good chunk of the summer so far. well. just the beach and batavia. but it seems like a lot. anyhow… here’s what’s been going on when we haven’t been traveling… we signed up for free weekday bowling with amf. we’ve only been once, with our pals, the pattisalls, but […]
slow saturday random post
a slow saturday morning = blog update opportunities… not much going on around here. nice weather rolling in, so lots of outside time. example. we hit up the cobblestone farmers market. which is decidedly less cobblestone-y this year and a little more concrete-y, since they moved it away from krankie’s. oh well. we got some […]
garden mania.

chickens, princesses and friends.
we’ve had quite a time with our chickens lately. first, we came home from a weekend trip to find four hatched babies. well, two slipped under the fence and were quickly gobbled up by the neighbor’s dog. sad. this picture is obviously before that: now she’s only got two. here’s a cute picture of the […]
so much miscellany.
one last post for the night. i promise. i am the worst about letting blog posts (picture on my phone, really) pile up… anyhooo…. here’s some recent happenings. cupcake taste testers. lunch at an english pub in blowing rock for jude’s 40th birthday girls weekend in the mountains. derek organizing (and cataloging) all of isaac’s […]
hatchlings.
we returned from the mountains to find four, fuzzy, cute, little friends in our chicken coop. and one angry, vigilant, protective mama. we knew there was a chance the eggs would hatch over the weekend, based on when she went into egg incubating mode… the kids are in love. even isaac will hold them this […]
the rest of march. and beginnings of april.
ok. so. it’s been a crazy busy month. i have several blog posts that need some words added to their many pictures and then hopefully, maybe i’ll be all caught up. and then i’ll make a heartfelt, but nonetheless empty promise to do a better job blogging. and then, in another month, we’ll be in […]
