1. In addition to getting ready for this weekend my days this week have been filled with one little boy fighting asthma, it’s been a rough one. I told his doctor yesterday morning, after his 3rd rough day in a row, that I feel like we are missing a piece of the puzzle. Something is off, I don’t know what I’m missing, what his doctors are missing, but its something. I swear asthma kids are one big puzzle and it takes forever to put it all together! I’ve also had one super, super sassy little miss T on my hands. What is it with her this week? Not listening seems to be at the top of her to-do list. And […]

Taryn got a big kid bike today, her very first. We took the training wheels off as soon as we got home. I have a feeling that (1) Jase is going to be massively sore tomorrow morning from all the assistance in balancing her today. Even with this. (2) She’ll have it down pat very soon. (3) Teagan will be taking over the big kid trike within days and (4) My girl is growing up much, much too quickly.

I also finally managed to catch a quick video of Teagan running, which I’ve been meaning to do for awhile. His run makes me smile. And laugh. I think if the whole […]

1. Sing it with me now….one of these things is not like the other….one of these things just isn’t the same…..

[I realize this already made an appearance on my facebook page a week or so ago, but I think it needs to be here as well. I think it is a classic I’ll always want to remember no?!]

2. Here comes trouble.

He is quite literally in to everything. I love having a rough and tumble little boy in the house again. Love it. But man he keeps me hoppin. There isn’t a moment that goes by that I don’t soak him in. […]

1. I tried hard to pretend today that we weren’t preparing for surgery for our baby on the second Easter in a row. It got to me, no matter how much I tried not to let it. Having children with health problems is hard. And those problems don’t go away on holidays. Teagan’s surgery this week will be one year to the day of his surgery last year.

2. We did manage to do a few fun things with the kids, we died eggs, did an egg hunt in the front yard and we made our annual bunny cake…..I used to make this with my mom when I was a little girl…..

because i don’t want to forget

This morning, as I was dozing in and out, trying to convince myself to put at least one foot out of the bed, Jason was up with the kids cooking breakfast. As I dozed out again I felt a little tap on my forehead, just between my eyes. And before I even opened them, I thought it would be Taryn standing there, because that is her old trick. But it was Teagan. I opened them, smiled in surprise that it was him, and groggily closed them again. He said “Momma, Momma, I ready”. “You’re ready bud?”, I asked, assuming he meant ready to play, ready to start his day, ready to go. But my little man said “Ready to ‘nuggle….” […]

1. It seems I am sinking. I have a hard drive full of images that need some love and attention so that I can send them off to my clients. I am super behind…on everything, editing, email, voicemail, packaging orders, etc. If you are waiting on me for something, I’m sorry, I’m coming, I promise! Between Jason going out of town last weekend and being on my own with the boys, Teagan’s health issues and my kids being off for spring break, figuring out summer camps, signing up for dance classes, trips to the doctor and dentist…..I’m sinking. If you’re waiting on proofs from me, head on over to the Life in Motion Facebook Fanpage and look for a […]
