My friend Libby of Libby Ann Photography came out to capture Jonah at a tiny 5 days old.  We had a tough time scheduling.  Time was very limited, Taryn was massively uncooperative and y’all, Libby rocked it with all the challenges that are photographers children and a fussy baby at the end.  It’s not easy photographing a photographer’s family and I’m so very thankful for each and every image she captured for us.  I think she did a beautiful job.

That first image up there….it’s brought me to tears more than once.  It’s a beautiful capture of my two sweet boys, but it’s so much […]

We are actually celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow so that Jason’s family can be here with us.  Our day today has been filled with watching the parade on TV, staying in our jammies, prepping some food for tomorrow, crafts, reading, gameboys, snuggling with Jonah, lots of nursing, a little bit of football and just hanging out with the family.

We have so much to be thankful for this year.  Including all of those who still come by this blog and our little corner on the internet.  Sometimes I feel like blogs are dying as the […]

Jonah loves the changing table.  Actually, he will fuss the minute he’s wet or needs a diaper change, but the second you take it off, he’s a happy camper, even in the middle of the night.  He rarely cries through a diaper change, which is actually pretty nice.  I realized the other day that I hadn’t taken any photos of Jonah in his cloth diapers.  I will be the first to admit I was pretty intimidated by the idea of cloth diapering, it is very much like learning a new language.  We had hoped to do disposables for the newborn stage, but once I started researching the chemicals in some and […]
