our beautiful everydays
we’ve spent the last almost 5 years doing just what we wanted- when we wanted. we’ve spent spring days in the grass smelling flowers and dirt and feeling our skin warm in the sun. we’ve spent hot summer days in the park for hours filling shoes with sand and duck bellies with bread crumbs. in the fall we walked […]
obstructive sleep apnea
chloe has obstructive sleep apnea and we will be seeing a surgeon next month to talk about having her tonsils and adenoids taken out. she has to be 3 for the surgery. for nearly 3 years she has been waking up several times a night.
noah was not always the best sleeper… he didn’t really sleep […]
this day can end now
i hate hate hate raising my voice at my children but i find myself going there at least once a day lately. it’s been a trying past couple of hours with non-stop fighting and crying and demanding between the two of them and i know it doesn’t help to join in and escalate the situation. […]
princess chloe
chloe loves princesses and tea parties. so for her birthday coming up in april we’re having a…you guessed it…princess tea party birthday. (don’t get me started on the fact that my tiny baby is turning 3 because that’s just not even possible) it seems strange that i’m already planning her party in february but this […]

chloe
chloe is made of magic. when she’s not tired. she likes having her picture taken almost as i love taking pictures of her. almost.
picture day
i have been doing picture days with emily for years and years. it’s like therapy. and when it’s done i have a loaded card to work from.
last saturday we headed to salvation army in the snow in search of a little inspiration…in the form of a dress. and some cool shoes.
in the tiniest of plywood […]
new year
in 2008 everything i had ever thought about anything was pulverized. i learned about grief, guilt, regret, and the complete destruction of my belief system…i learned to live without closure, without reason, and without understanding. and how to act like i was doing fine when i most definately was not. actually, the least fine i’ve ever been. […]
i caught some grief from a falling leaf
fall is usually my favorite season. i love the crisp air, the golden light through impossibly bright leaves, and the smell. oh. the smell. but i think i may have ruined it this year by going on vacation right as fall landed here. i keep closing my eyes and seeing us there and feeling us […]
