HA! Did ya’ll catch that title?!?! I called our baby boy by NAME! Yuhessss! We are so excited, after 8.5 months of deliberating, to have decided on a name…..Teagan Jude Stradtner. And yesterday we finished the nursery. It’s a tiny little room but I just love the way it turned out. I still have a few little projects I’m working on, but it’s 99% done. We decided at the last minute to forgo the pretty chocolate colored upholstered rocking chair, we have two other rockers in the house and just couldn’t justify the expense. If we find we miss having one in there we can always add it later. I also still want to add a big brown circle rug […]

In an effort to try and locate the sweet spots of light in our new house I sat T down before lunch for a few shots. She wasn’t that interested though… "she’s talking to me, but I’m not gonna look at her or that black box of torture""it doesn’t matter if she dances…I’m not lookin""it doesn’t matter if she sings, this is reaaaaallllly boring" "talking about barney won’t work today mom…I’m onto your tricks…I’m not lookin""hhhmmmm, did she say candy?!?""I really do love candy""Look here Mommy, it’s time to pay up!" …and she’s done. LOL!Little stinker. Anyone know of a cure for PCS (Photographer’s Child Syndrome)? Ahhh, I can’t complain too much I suppose, I’ll have a captive model before […]

I actually dug out the camera today, it’s been packed up and ready to make the trip to the hospital with us. Good thing I did too, the batteries were totally dead – yikes! I wanted to snap a few of Ty and Taryn together, mostly for Valentines Day, but also because it could be the last time I photograph just the two of them before #3 arrives. So we didn’t go far, total of 3 or 4 minutes on the back porch, since I’m supposed to be off my feet. When we came back inside, Ty was helping Taryn get her snack and drink and I caught this really quick in the kitchen. I just love the way they […]

I know this is a little late…but better late than never right?! I’ve had the 5D for a full year now and going back through these photos it just amazes me how much the kids have grown and changed. I thank God I have photography in my life to capture it… This was difficult, but here they are, in no particular order… Me & the cute husband. Ok, so that’s technically 10. I could have chosen any one of these, but I didn’t take them, Jase did. Or even any of the ones of Kylie the dog and Taryn with her lollipop. I just love those too. And here is one to grow on….looking forward to a fabulous 2008 =) […]

The belly. I must look like I hurt. Taryn does this to me every day. She’s so sweet about it….she brings me "bo-baids" (bo-baids are for bobo’s, band-aids are for bands?). She unwraps it, lifts my shirt, gently pats it on and says "I make you feel better Mommy". It started about 6 weeks ago maybe, I’d get one a day. The bigger I get, the more bo-baids I need. And yes, I touched up my stretch marks. Why?? Because I CAN! Now if only photoshop worked in real life!!
