Football mom truths:

#60 did awesome.
I am proud of him. Like, really proud of him.
He plays on offense, defense and special teams.
It took him literally years to convince me to let him play. I was am afraid he’ll get hurt.
The first hit made my heart sink and reality set in. I contained my inner panic well.
I would prefer he play the *safety* position just because I like that name better than *tackle*. Of course I realize it has nothing to do with what he actually does or is….it just makes me feeeeeel better.
I call his uniform a costume just to see him get flustered. Works every time. I’m mean like […]

I love every single last thing about this session. The love they have one another shines and the two little ones are simply the most delightful and respectful kiddos! This session had one big goal, to fill the blank walls in their new home with loving photos. I’m pretty sure they are printing big and those bare walls are disappearing one by one….

Grandparents day was last weekend and we totally slacked. I’d love to say that we sent thoughtful cards and picked up the phone and honored the wonderful grandparents that our kids have….but, we didn’t. We forgot.

First, note the purple shoes….I’m fairly certain I’ve never seen Grandma or Grandpa in purple shoes. No, make that absolutely certain. Especially Grandpa. Although I would like to.

It’s a big deal. To be 5. And this fabulous. I’m calling these her birthday photos because well, it’s all I’ve got from around the time she turned 5 two months ago. Other than a quick hug and short visit at childrens hospital, I missed her birthday. Jase and I did the old divide and conquer…I stayed with Teagan at the hospital and he spent the day with Taryn. I missed her. And yet I also realize it is not about that one day, but every other day of the year we get to enjoy her and get to know this fabulous little person. I feel so incredibly blessed that the day of her birthday party was such a good […]

Taryn came running through the house, breathless. We all had to run to the front door to look….
