no dads atlantic beach trip. days two and three.
after selecting all the pics for this post, it appears we didn’t go to the beach at all for days two and three. strange. anyhooo… here’s what we DID do. we started off with a slow morning, because hazel learned that she can climb out of her pack and play and we got a very […]
no dads atlantic beach trip. day one.
first. an apology. i’m about to play a serious game of blog catchup. we went to the beach a month ago. then we came home for a week and i attempted to blog, but had a hard time with the photos (iphoto vs. photos) on my brand new computer. so i scrapped it. then we […]

our first attempt at (circus) camping…

no dads allowed beach trip. day three.

no dads allowed beach trip. day two.
so. day two. we decided to go minimalist. the kids took towels and whatever toy they wanted. hazel went in the ergo carrier. and off we went. and we lasted a whopping 30 minutes before isaac had a total meltdown. and hazel’s love affair with the sand and surf came to an abrupt end. so, […]
pools and ice cream and bubbles, mostly.
yep. so here’s what’s been happening in our little world lately… hazel had her first swim in a real pool. she was a fan. i also had anna clinging to me like i crazy person, so it made my experience a little overwhelming. but, here’s a pic before anna “joined us”. isaac. he loves the […]
