a few weeks ago, ike’s school had a giant fundraiser in the form of a spring carnival. there was also an auction to accompany the spring carnival and at that auction, we “won” a picnic lunch with isaac’s teacher, for a whopping $65. flash forward to today. and the picnic lunch was taking place. isaac […]

some pictures… anna and the world’s best dog: i gave my kids each a roll of washi tape. here’s what anna did: and what ike did: wednesday, the 8th, was anna’s actual birthday, so we went out for a delicious breakfast. it’s her favorite meal. bacon, sausage, eggs over easy, toast, pancakes. she’s a little […]
annababy’s 3rd birthday party.
anna’s birthday falls on a stupid wednesday this year. so, we celebrated sunday. which might not have been the best plan because derek was at a meeting all afternoon and our house has been in a perpetual state of disaster since i started keeping extra people and then especially when i got pregnant. anyhow. i […]
princess party…
it was perfect timing that anna decided she liked princesses, because she was set to attend a princess party for the fifth birthday of our pal kaylin. we borrowed a dress from heather and her girls and instantly anna was transformed into a disney princess enthusiast. so, naturally, we gave in. and for anna’s birthday, […]
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 […]

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 […]
camera cupcakes.
hi. i only have one picture of my most recent cake baking adventure… i went on a little 40th birthday girls weekend for my pal jude. she’s a photographer extraordinaire. and loves tie-dye. so i made tie-dye cake (rainbow-y-ish). and little fondant cameras. (i can’t not say camera like jenna maroney). the end.
sew south (a way belated post).
a few weekends ago, i had the opportunity to attend my very first sewing retreat, in charlotte. sew south was organized by jennifer mathis of ellison lane quilts. there were fifty of us and it was a fun weekend of open sewing. eating. and classes. oh. and fun. duh. i went with 4 other folks […]
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 […]
