hazel
the last bit of randomness from 2013.
warning. lots of cute pics on the way. but, first. some brutal honesty. things have been difficult around here. we have been having a really hard time with isaac and anna for the last few months. we hoped that it was just some tension because the baby was on the way. and we had hoped […]
new york grands come to town.
at 2am, on the day after christmas, my mom, stepdad and brother rolled into town. my mom quickly scooped up hazel and crashed on the couch. and the whirlwind crazy week began… (and i took way too few pictures. thankfully, derek took some.) jake was quickly enlisted by isaac to help with lego construction. a […]
hazel’s photo shoot.
my pal kristin boone takes amazing pictures. she came over to meet hazel and snapped a few pics of her when she was about a week old. and, like always. they are awesome. my family is in town right now. crazytown. they leave tomorrow. and then, thursday, i’m officially on my own, with three little […]

hazel grace
on tuesday, december 10th, we welcomed this little bundle of apprehensive joy into the world: we are calling her hazel grace. and she was 21 inches long and 7 lbs 15 oz. and was born at 11:20 am. i’ll post more details later, about how the whole thing actually went down. but, for now, here’s […]
my last night of pregnancy.
well. we went to the doc today. and they pretty much induce at 41 weeks. which is wednesday for me. so, we scheduled to be induced tomorrow. and the hospital gave us 430am as our time slot. thanks for that. i just packed up the kiddos to head to gramma’s. derek is getting me one […]
