whelp. we made it. seems like yesterday that this guy came rip roaring into our lives. and now, he’s legally an adult. it’s been a wild ride. a lot of highs and a lot of lows. but, we seem to be cruising into a good place and i just might have churned out a decent […]

december (and 2024) wrap up.
december was incredibly busy. decembers and mays always are. here’s the haps between and around the birthdays and holiday events. kicked things off with a literal $997 trip to costco. mostly for baking items for the impending cookie mayhem (and anna’s weekly cookie mayhem), but also grabbed several gifts and some other expensive items (meat!).

november is my fave.
it might be because it’s my birthday month. or because of the fall vibes. cool nights. or because of thanksgiving and delicious foods and christmas around the corner. but i think we can all say that november is a good month. anyways. we kicked off our november this year with our annual bonfire and chili […]
thanksgiving in batavia.
since we didn’t make it to ny all summer, we decided to head up for thanksgiving this year. when we homeschooled and then in covid and then when the schools gave a whole week for thanksgiving, it was a lot easier. but with kids in activities and work and my school, it was a little […]

seppy temby. twenty twenty foury.

a brief visit to dc and baltimore.
originally, after purchasing tickets to see vance joy in columbia, maryland, we planned to make a long weekend out of it and do a proper tour of DC. but, i was a little overwhelmed with my classes, so we kept it short and sweet, driving up on the day of the concert, seeing some sites […]
vance joy. round two.
as you may or may not know. we are huge fans of vance joy. we fell in love with him when we lived on the road. i can even remember where we were during the time when we discovered his music. hazel, only three at the time, knew all the lyrics to several songs, and […]
