Apparently, Isaac only needs 15 minutes of nap per day. He woke up around 7:45 this morning and we headed to church at 9:30 or so. He had a complete and total meltdown in the toddler room, amplified by the fact that he knew I was next door in the nursery. I switched places with […]

sad cake
Our most recent adventure in the wild and crazy world of cake decorating took place yesterday. Lorena purchased a plain half sheet cake from Costco (since we needed a gigantic one for the mega-party) and brought it over and we went to work. Sadly, this cake was for a going away party for Ryan, Gloria […]
Full Circle
We have had a rough couple of days. Isaac has woken up in the middle of the night for several nights in a row. Whining turns to crying, which turns to screaming, at which point I check to make sure they’re no stuck legs or vomit or wet sheets and jammies. Some consoling takes place […]
PJ’s Party
Derek and Isaac went to PJ’s birthday party without me yesterday, due to my recently acquired cold. I posted all the pictures and videos here. They had a great time, and Isaac was worn out when he got home. Derek took this shot in the car on the ride home:
Friday Cakeday Volume II
Today was our second round of making cakes. We made a firetruck for PJ’s birthday tomorrow. PJ’s mom just thinks we used a flat cake mold to make the cake, so hopefully she likes this… This is a shot of Lorena doing the not-so-fun crumb coat.Here’s me, applying some of the star outercoat (we did […]
Queens of Cakes
For Heather’s shower, Lorena, Chris and I had the grand plan to make a cake with fondant. Actually, Lorena had the grand plan. Chris and I just nodded and went along with it. I guess we watch too much Ace of Cakes and they make it look so easy, so we thought we’d try our […]
Belated Fair Pictures
Trying out some Fair food. I think this was fried dough. Mmmmm… Josiah getting some treats from Lorena. Feeding the goats! Relaxing and enjoying some bluegrass music. Isaac and Dad, intently watching the performance.
Dixie Classic Fair
It’s Dixie Classic Fair week!We tried to go on Saturday, but had a long (and frustrating) encounter at Bank of America that left us a little strapped for time. So, Derek came home early yesterday and we headed there yesterday afternoon. We have some pictures, but they’re on Derek’s camera, so they’ll have to wait. […]
Adventures in the Triangle
On Sunday, Isaac and I made the long trek to the Raleigh/Durham region. We just came back last night and we’re both still recovering from our wild adventure. We got in around 7:30 pm and went to my old church and visited some old pals there. Then, we went over to the Minors to visit […]
