other december happenings, including christmas.

easter-ish, including a family gathering, indoors!

Posted on April 5, 2021May 14, 2021by sarah

And now, for this year’s Easter festivities and shenanigans. First off. Anna and I signed up for a natural dyeing workshop at the Village Fabric Shop. We had debated doing our own natural dyeing, but it seemed rather labor intensive, so when this opportunity presented itself, we gladly forked over the cash for the chance […]

THIRTEEN. a teenager. it’s hard to believe it really. he was a trooper about spending his actual birthday doing charleston touristy things, with the promise that we would have a proper birthday party the following weekend. but before i get to that. a bit about the […]

all the christmasses, 2019.

Posted on February 11, 2020February 11, 2020by sarah

in all the years that we have been local, we celebrate christmas early, with derek’s parents and his sister’s family, with a semi-swedish themed meal and gift exchange, at his parents house. i suppose they have celebrated it without us in the years that we weren’t local, but i guess i’ll allow it. anyhoooo. here’s […]

so the story goes like this. my nephew is pretty active in trail life (a scout-like group at his church) and this summer they had big plans to meet up with another group from new mexico for 10-ish day (i think?) backpacking, camping, and fishing trip in colorado. he was trying to train for the […]
