1.  Man, it has been forrrrrrrever since I did a 10 on Tuesday.  Blog slacker I am.  Hard working, blog slacker, that is.  How about a little catch up with my crew?

2.  I have an entire session of photos like this to edit….I just need time.  Man, he was awfully good to me this evening….

3.  My girl was awfully good to me recently as well.  We did our annual photo shoot in the field of purple wildflowers a few weeks ago.  I just need more time to edit…

4.  In addition to working like a crazy person, this month, personally, has […]

Taryn had to stay home from school today.  Teagan woke up at 6 am *yelling* that it MUST be time to go trick or treating already.  I had to get creative in trying to put off having them in their costumes all day long.  They were still in the wash actually.  So I dug out the dress up stuff for them and they spent their day as dogs.  Just like the old days.  It made me smile.  They made me smile.  When it came time to get dressed up for trick or treating tonight, Taryn happily changed in to her horse costume.  Duder was having more than a handful of, ahem, […]

My sleepy boy, still enjoying his afternoon naps.  His favorite thing to do when he wakes up is to sneak up on me and yell BOO!

The other day, I yelled out in the house “Duder, what are you doing?”

He yelled back “STUFF!  Really Awwwesome stuff!”

Ok then.

ps – My girl is pretty awesome too.  In fact, she’s recently gone facebook viral on pages like the Non-GMO Project, Cheeseslave, Robyn O’Brien, and others for a cause we are passionate about.  You can read more about it here.

A few more photos of Teagan from the other day.  I’ve officially entered that “I’m too busy working during busy season to photograph my own family” phase of fall.  These were my effort to get behind the camera and photograph my own kiddos.  It feels good when I do.  Nothing feels like taking a good photograph.  That instant gratification and urge to run for the card reader.  I feel better when I photograph.  Like I can breathe and move and function.  Is that weird?

This was the last light of the day, it felt golden.  Jason had run out to pick up Ty from somewhere.  His sister was off finishing her second bowl of sauerkraut and bean soup for dinner, and […]

I’ve been quiet around here.  We’ve had a rough month.  This week has been even more so.  I haven’t talked about it much but we are going through a really difficult time with Taryn.  Having two blogs has been hard on me this last month.  I don’t know why, but I’m not sure what to post where.  So, I’ve just been quiet.  Cause I’ve been overwhelmed.  Her sensory issues are not only back, it feels like they exploded.  We do know why, but that doesn’t make it easier or her or any of us really.  We are doing everything we can to heal her, we are detoxing her, and working on […]
