it seems i’m getting worse and worse at consistent blogging, despite my attempts to get better and better at consistent blogging. it’s been a rather crazy month. i kicked it off by returning from batavia for my uncle ray’s funeral. i had a nice day of recovering and settling back in, but awoke in the […]

updating the kids bathroom.
we bought this house ten years ago. and it was previously owned by a couple a wee bit older than us. and there was a lot of very 1990’s-ish wallpaper. we immediately de-wallpapered the kitchen and painted it royal blue (and you see it in approximately 78% of my photos). we meant to get to […]
a quilt for derek.
i’ve never made a quilt for derek. poor neglected husband. so this year, for christmas, i put an end to the streak. and made him this: when i saw the modern neutrals at sewingly yours, i knew they would make a perfect manly quilt. the small prints were perfect for a scrappy trip along. so […]
christmas day. twenty fourteen.
finally. christmas day is here. (i actually think i took this pic christmas eve, but whatevs). the tree survived. if you’ll note, there’s no ornaments in the bottom third and the lights and garland are slightly askew. and the presents are ready to go… the kids did a great job of not coming down at […]

lewisville christmas parade.
yesterday was the lewisville christmas parade. we didn’t get to go last year because of hazel and the business of her being born and all newborn and such. but we’ve gone in most of the years past. this year. isaac was in it, with his boy scout pack. so fun. the weather was glorious and […]
mountain getaway.
last weekend, we made a semi-spontaneous trip to the mountains for a little family getaway. we started it out by turning hazel’s seat around. she’s a few days shy of one, but not if you count from her due date. actually, i think the law might be two years old now. which is ridiculous. anyhooo… […]
october happenings.

leaves!
fall is in full swing and leaves are filling up our backyard. so, obviously, we made a pile for the kids to jump in. and by we, i mean derek. contemplating their strategy. as always, anna preferred to just sit in the leaves with her stuffed animals and bury herself and play pretend. isaac stomped […]
isaac and derek’s very first ever cub scout camping trip.
i wasn’t there. so i don’t know much. but here are the pics that derek took and shared. the excited camper. bidding farewell. (i was there for this). setting up. in the rain. tent-mates. i’m told isaac spent most of his spare time in the creek. and since it rained most of the weekend, it […]
