for some reason, i thought it would be a good idea to have a birthday party in our home. with a newborn. with six boys. ages 6 and 7. and make individual cakes for the kids to decorate. i’m obviously not thinking clearly in my sleep deprived state. here’s how it went. earlier this week, […]
isaac
seven.
on friday, isaac t. lidbom turned seven. SEVEN. i can’t even believe it. seems like just yesterday that we were bringing home that screaming little bundle of feisty joy and starting our lives as parents. he has, for sure, kept us on our toes. he’s packed to the rafters with endless energy. and is completely […]

january 5th resolutions.

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 […]
christmas day. 2013.
(note: this is the first of a bunch of posts i plan on making today.) this christmas was a little bit crazy. we have a newborn. so we kept it all low key. but first things first. the presents. pics aren’t that great. we need a fancy sports lens to get all the fast paced […]
gingerbread houses.
on christmas eve eve day (december 23rd), i sent derek out to run a few errands. and decided we needed to do gingerbread houses with the kids. he scored them on superduper clearance, which was awesome. anna picked out a hello kitty house. and ike picked a willy wonka house with a ridiculous amount of […]
oh you know, just some random pics…
when we found ourselves with an extra weekend before hazel arrived, we tried to do some fun things with the kids… like christmas shaped pancakes with some sprinkles… check out anna’s sweet pigtails… the wink of approval… after the appointment where we scheduled the induction of a super late hazel, i returned home to find […]
