i’ve lost track of the days. the day i’m about to blog about is a day that we just hung around batavia mostly. for lunch, we picked up subs from south side deli and then snatched my gramps up from the VA hospital and took him to aunt eleanor’s for a little outdoor picnic. the […]
family
hazel’s first trip to batavia. part one.
i’m only now just recovering from our trip to ny. we got home nine days ago. it was super busy. and i barely slept. and never slept well. and the travels were misery. but, we had lots of fun and adventures. we loaded up and left on a friday afternoon after derek finished a test […]
asheville anniversary. with kids.
this past saturday was our 11th anniversary. so, obviously, we packed the kids up for a hike and an overnight trip in asheville. derek had found a short little kid friendly hike online. not much elevation change. cool rocks to climb on. and a waterfall. so, off we went, to toms creek falls… firstly, we […]
four.
last week. on thursday. this kid turned four. it seems very impossible. she’s quite a little character. very independent. and stubborn. she is a super little artist. and loves to read. and pretend. and play with princess dolls. and baby dolls. and hoard piles of random toys into the hidden corners of the house. we […]
easter. spring. friends. lemonade.
well. i thought maybe i would split this post into a few smaller topical posts. but, my time at the computer is pretty limited these days. so another lump 32 picture update post will have to do. for now. i did save a zillion pictures from planting our garden today for a later post. you’re […]
super fast update.
i’m going to race to caption these photos and then get to bed. homeschooling… another post with details to come soon. soonish. hazel’s starting to get grabby. we made cookies. and ate a LOT of cookie dough. perfect cookies. thanks to the cookie scoop. anna got a substantial haircut. the tangled mess was becoming ridiculous. […]
the last two weeks and five days…
warning. i think there’s 33 total pictures to document. starting off with this knucklehead. valentine addressing. (side note: based on the loot isaac brought home, he was the only kid that didn’t give out a pile of candy. just tattoos.) the valentines day party was postponed, however, when this blizzard happened. the kids raced over […]
oh you know, just some random pics…
when we found ourselves with an extra weekend before hazel arrived, we tried to do some fun things with the kids… like christmas shaped pancakes with some sprinkles… check out anna’s sweet pigtails… the wink of approval… after the appointment where we scheduled the induction of a super late hazel, i returned home to find […]
the week in (very few) pictures.
(i’m still pregnant. and bags are packed. and things are mostly clean. and so on. so, i am blogging.) we had thanksgiving at derek’s sister’s house. here’s the kidz table. it was very giggly. the cousins exchanged gifts (mostly because we got them a lego star wars advent calendar and we don’t have the family […]
labor day mountain weekend
derek’s parents invited us up to blue ridge village for a labor day weekend in the mountains. it was good timing, because isaac’s first week of school was a little rough. for him and me. and, we didn’t accomplish as many items from our summer to do list as i had hoped, and this little […]
