no dads allowed beach trip. day two.

Posted on June 22, 2014by sarah

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, […]

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 […]

yesterday. we loaded up the lid kids. and headed to hanging rock state park for a day of action packed adventure. side note: i have been hiking at hanging rock. but only to the actual hanging rock. so, whenever people would suggest taking the kids there, i would laugh at the possibility knowing that surely […]

the other things that have been happening lately.

Posted on May 13, 2014by sarah

besides anna turning four, hazel turning five months, the strawberry picking and the butterfly growing, these are some pics of what’s been happening around here… hazel is fast outgrowing the bumbo seat. she can almost turn herself completely around in it. and she rocks violently and it slides across the table. and this: test run […]

summer in batavia. part 2.

Posted on July 12, 2013July 12, 2013by sarah

despite a very rain-filled forecast, the fourth of july was sunny and great and my parents threw a big party full of lake people and relatives. it was a lot of people to squeeze on even their massive deck. (this is about half of the crowd). grape pop. at the kiddie table. terry’s niece and […]

summer in batavia. part 1.

Posted on July 12, 2013by sarah

i have no desire to narrate our trip to the beach. it was supposed to be rainy all week, but each day, i woke up and the weather forecast had magically changed overnight and the weather was great. we went to the beach everyday and the pool on most days. last year, it rained so […]

beating the heat.

our friend heather is a member at a local pool. and she invites us all the time. but, i’ve had such unpredictable pool experiences with the lid kids, i always decline for fear of the unknown. yesterday, after a few days of endless playdates at our own house, i was eager to get the little […]

beach miscellany.

Posted on June 15, 2012May 21, 2013by sarah

i have one last group of pictures that i haven’t been able to categorize into their own posts. pics from around the condo, and then some various activities. playing with isaac’s shell (or shards of shell) collection, while he’s gone. hanging out, early in the morning, watching tv. playing with yo gabba gabba friends. (anna […]

Posted on July 13, 2011by sarah

i’m trying to cram this post in quickly before i head to bed. after a restless night of being eaten alive by mosquitos, i awakened, fed the lidkids breakfast and we headed off to austin park, once home to the dirtiest, diseasiest wading pool in america. or maybe batavia. and i can proudly say, i […]
