instagrammy and such
not much to report from around here. if you follow me on instagram, this will mostly be redundant. but, there’s a few new pictures thrown in… i don’t know if i’m overlapping other posts, but i’m too lazy to look back and see… anna and lucy. anna got this little drawing board for christmas, from […]
christmastime was here.
but, you probably already knew that. rewind to sunday. actually saturday night. our church had “family services” all weekend. where the kids get to come in and distract everyone around them and our pastor just talks a lot louder and it’s cute and fun and christmassy and all that. :). anyhoooooo. we went to that.

eggs!!!! (instagram style).
on wednesday, we were pleasantly surprised to find our first egg waiting for us in the nesting boxes. we’re pretty sure that chickensarahpowers (the rhode island red) is the proud mom. we weren’t really sure when to expect eggs because we’ve heard different things about how the cold of winter affects their egg production and […]

christmas cookie elves.
last weekend, i gathered up mountains of flour and butter and sugar and chocolate and sprinkles and went to work baking cookies with (and mostly without) the lid kid elves. i started out making cutout sugar cookie dough. anna was quite helpful (she just ate sugar, mostly). isaac was not interested. they proved to be […]
winter mountain visit.
last weekend, derek actually took a day off and we headed to the mountains of the boone (and banner elk and blowing rock) area. we mostly lounged around our little condo for friday, after taking our sweet time getting there. (we stopped for some shopping and lunch). on saturday, we loaded up and headed to […]
