anna’s first field trip.
last week. i had the opportunity to go with annababy’s kindergarten to lazy 5 ranch. the kids rode the bus and the parents met at the ranch. upon arrival, anna determined that she was hungry and was quite grumpy and not interested in walking around and looking at cool animals. we did manage to trick […]
september.
man. i really really am doing a terrible job at blogging. not that i think anyone is actually reading this. so, mostly i’m talking to future me and the kids. i had every intention of getting a september blog up and posted before we took a big trip to ny, so that right now, i […]
a boring august recap.
the second half of summer flew past in a flash. i hit up some consignment sales for clothes for the annababy, who can still squeeze into 4t clothes, but they are quite short. i took her with me, and wound up purchasing a darth vader costume, which she insisted on wearing everywhere, much to the amusement […]
the first day of school.
on monday, the summer came screeching to a halt, and the two oldest lid kids had their first day of school. a new school. isaac tested into the HAG (highly academically gifted) program, which is only at two schools in our system. fortunately, it’s only about 6 minutes away from where we live. anyhow, anna […]

belated (mostly instagrams) march post.
beware: this post contains 45 pictures from the lid kid month of march. we kicked off march with derek and isaac heading out of town to a wedding, so i just had the girls. which meant anna watched a lot of frozen and slept in the bed with me and dressed like a princess and […]
february in 35 pictures.
it seems i’m getting worse and worse at consistent blogging, despite my attempts to get better and better at consistent blogging. it’s been a rather crazy month. i kicked it off by returning from batavia for my uncle ray’s funeral. i had a nice day of recovering and settling back in, but awoke in the […]
