Looking Back, Looking Forward

  Happy New Year, my friends! Looking back… As much as 2011 was a year of movement, 2012 was a year of of cultivation. At home, L continues to grow and grow and grow into her own. She’s becoming increasingly independent with each day, and smart as a whip by the second. She’s becoming quite […]

Our so-far Fall includes: Red and orange walks, a trip to  Rhode Island to visit my sister and support her for her final senior volleyball game for University of Rhode […]

Seeing Things

Blue bites, stacks of wonder, paper cuts, Color across pages through afternoon rain and thunder. Growing kit. Just when you think no one is looking… while the walls are vibrating. Harmony, melody, two by two. You look over your shoulder and can’t recognize what’s behind you. It’s been a hectic fall thus far. At the […]

Life Lately

This picture pretty much sums of life lately… The laundry continues to pile up on the bed. Dishes pile up in the sink. Will is busy with school. I’m busy with work and restyling my blog. L is busy being a two-year-old. Sleep has become an afterthought. We’ve been working on finding some semblance of […]

Rainy Day Photoshoot

It’s been a bit murky around these parts lately. Spoiled with leave-the-windows-open-go-to-the-park type weather the last couple weeks, when restricted indoors we’ve been, for lack of a better word, bored…. But one form of entertainment has captured us – literally. Photography. To be specific, toddler photography. The pictures below were taken by L. They are […]

While I’m still contemplating which stories to read, I’ve already picked out a fun, owly craft. As family and friends slowly trickle in for the holiday weekend (the head […]

Orange is a Warm Color

This October, the warm days have far outweighed the cold. My mom was in town last weekend, so we all went out to enjoy the sunshine at the pumpkin patch. Even though I’ve been preparing LBD’s Halloween costume, as well as Halloween storytime at the library on Sunday, I keep forgetting that Halloween is right […]

At The Inlaws

As of today, we’re completely moved out of our little red house. The keys have been handed over. Nomads for the next couple of months. Currently, we are living with the in-laws. They live outside of town. At night, you can listen to the wind rock the trees. It’s peaceful here. Next weekend we move […]

Ad Astra Per Aspera

“Ad Astra Per Aspera”… “Through Hardships To The Stars”…. “To The Stars Through Difficulty”… the Kansas motto. After much debate and deliberation, a decision has been made, Will has accepted admission to the University of Kansas for Fall 2011. We’re moving to Kansas! When? We don’t know. However, we do have to be out of […]
