november…
i sucked at blogging in november. but, aside from the barrage of posts from yesterday, here’s what else has gone down. as per my usual, it’s mostly just instagram pics. hazel. cute. on a quilt. in the “good natural light” corner. lots of campfires in the chilly-ish nights. marshmallow roaster, extraordinaire. kitchen table quilt fortress […]
the week in (very few) pictures.
(i’m still pregnant. and bags are packed. and things are mostly clean. and so on. so, i am blogging.) we had thanksgiving at derek’s sister’s house. here’s the kidz table. it was very giggly. the cousins exchanged gifts (mostly because we got them a lego star wars advent calendar and we don’t have the family […]

christmas tree assembly.

thanksgiving
we had thanksgiving festivities at our house this year. pretty exciting. isaac was a little sleepy and/or sick to start the day, and spent the entire morning on the couch, like so: i just like this picture: trying to get all of paw paw’s great-grand-boys to sit still and take a picture. we […]
