The many faces of Lachlan Hyde. He’s very expressive. He’s been compared to Vizzini from Princess Bride. Lachlan is more and more awake and starting to show personality. His cheeks are filling out and he’s finally made it out of newborn clothes. He’s six weeks old. He’s starting to smile, and sleeping pretty well at […]
Auction.
We bid on a house on auction today. My dad found the house on a fluke. He took a different road when driving for work because the road he’d intended to take was under construction. The auction sign out front made him stop and take a photo. Blaine and I went and looked at it. […]
Sick, but they haven’t lost their sense of humor.
I finally updated my “this is us” page with new photos and info, adding Creed and Lachlan. It was smidge behind! You can find it here if you care to see. We’re almost all sick. My mom seems mostly well, and Lachlan remains well, but the rest of us are feeling entirely crummy. It’s rather […]
Lachlan Hyde
Lachlan Hyde was born yesterday afternoon in a whirlwind birth like none of my others. 37 weeks to the day, my water broke about 10:20am, which I’d rather hoped for as the start to labor. I have many contractions leading up to labor, enough that it’s hard to decide when it’s for real. We are […]
Driver permits, school, and missing school books
First off, Sterling passed his permit test and is the newest driver on the road. That was a super fun moment. South Dakota gives permits at 14, and he’s enjoying every minute of that. Bonus, he’s been driving a lawn mower and moving vehicles in the yard for me for awhile now so he’s not […]
Jobs.
Eden’s been working at the cafe I worked at in high school, but not getting the hours she wanted. She was hired on at a nursing home and has completed training online to become a CNA before she starts work for them. She’s super excited. All she has left is her test and she’ll be […]
Bible Camp and Creed’s Antics
Eden, Sterling, Ruby, and Charlotte went to Bible camp earlier this month. Eden drove them the six hours across South Dakota, with some minor detours because her map reader fell asleep and her sister got car sick… fun times. They had a great week and made it home in one piece with only one horrific […]
Memories, progress, and dirty boys.
Grandpa: “You should try playing croquet with your heads.” I’m pretty sure he never thought they’d take him up on it. Pierce and Charlotte gave it their best go… and walked away deciding it was not that fun. It provided some funny entertainment for several minutes though! In the midst of hot summer days, the […]
Gestational diabetes: take two.
With the transfer of doctor everything to South Dakota comes the dreaded glucose test. The one I passed with flying colors eight times. The ninth, I failed, but keeping my sugar numbers where they ought to be was a breeze. No big deal. Skip rice and oatmeal. Everything else was fair game. I still went […]
Liberty Skye: 18.
My oldest turned 18 last week. I asked her if it feels any different. She told me it doesn’t. Her siblings keep telling her how behind the curve she is. I got married at 18. She reminds them I also met Blaine three months after I turned 18. Bought herself a squeak of time. She […]
