friends
two sad quilts.
a bit of background. i have some friends. who had two kiddos. the oldest, a girl named corban, was born with some sort of super rare chromosome abnormality (i’m not exactly sure it even has a name). when she was born, they weren’t sure she would make it through the night. she was in the […]
family beach trip. the grand finale.
the last day! friday. back out to the beach. to soak up as much sun, salt water and sand as possible. isaac quickly found a group of boys to hang with. and they were JERKS. at one point, he came back and asked if he could take off his life vest to show them that […]

food and friends. batavia and williamsville.
we continued our western new york eating tour by hitting up the pok-a-dot for some beef on weck and gravy fries. (for newer readers of this blog, my gramma, mom and i all worked at the pok-a-dot. a lot of memories. and old friendly faces. i think it’s a national treasure. no? it should be.) […]
