gingerbread house construction school party
yesterday was isaac’s last day of school before christmas vacation. or i guess, “winter break”. anyhow, they had a gingerbread house making party and i got to go hang out with iike and 16 of his best buddies while they crammed as much candy onto a feeble graham cracker structure as they possibly could. rewind […]
birthdays and thanksgivings, etcetera.
and so here it is. another one of those catch all posts with a bunch of random pictures thrown together to bring this blog back to the present. you’re welcome. anytime. first, i’ll begin with this cute picture of anna. she is obsessed with cramming her hands into her pockets “just like charlie brown dos”.

public school. day one.
well. even though it’s still 900 degrees, i guess summer is over and it’s time for school. isaac, at a whopping “five and a half” (don’t dare leave off the half), had his very first day of kindergarten today. he was pretty excited. and picked out this shirt himself. and has decided that i’ll wash […]
