We got a bit of snow Friday, and the kids are thrilled with the new potential for fun. The ice in the fields is frozen, though the kids have strict instructions to stay away from the deeper sloughs for now. Liberty took some photos yesterday. Kids are worn out, bottoms are sore from hitting the […]

Lachlan Hyde is three months old today. He’s smiling all the time these days. He sleeps 6-8 hours through the night in a bassinet. He cringes when he sees big brother Creed coming. He’s not impressed with the magnitude of love Creed shows for him. He loves Momma best and barely tolerates everyone else. He […]

Snow hit South Dakota last week. It’s all but gone again, but at the first hint of snow, Charlotte built a snowman. He’s teeny. He had to be measured in inches, not feet. His “hat” is a hose clamp. She whittled a baby carrot down with her teeth to make it appropriate to the size […]

Lachlan had his two month weight check last week. He tipped the scale at 12 pounds 15.5 ounces. He’s put on almost five pounds since birth. He’s sleeping through most nights 6+ hours, still just starting to think about smiling at me, filling out 3-6 month clothes nicely, and experiencing his first cold already. Poor […]

The kids all lined up for me before church last week. Lachlan hardly cooperated… but darn it, first family photo accomplished.

I turned 38 this week. My kids and Blaine plotted and planned and baked and potted and made me a very nice spread of gifts and yummy food. They also made me blow out 38 candles. I made 37 of them in one breath. That darned last one got me. I clearly am holding on […]

I had my hysterectomy surgery yesterday morning. I came home late last night, slept in the recliner, and am having to rely on pain meds to feel remotely decent. The hospital was fantastic in having me nurse just before surgery and using safe meds so that I could nurse immediately after too. I’m so thankful […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
