i mentioned in 10 on tuesday this morning that we are trying to transition teagan to one nap a day. it went well over the long weekend. but. there were a lot of people home = more distractions. there were parties and a loud brother and even louder sister to help him forget it was time to nap. this morning, well, it’s just me and him with the big kids in school and daddy back at work. it started pretty innocent. he grabs his favorite binky, and then his blankie and spreads it out on the floor…

but as soon as he did that, i knew what was coming next. it is […]

1. We had a great Memorial Day weekend filled with great friends and food and several parties and long walks and longer naps (even for me!) and tired kiddos. Perfect way to start the summer.

2. Teagan has mastered the art of the evil laugh. Cutest.Thing.Ever. I’ve got to get it on video.

3. You know what this equals?

Lots of this….

yeah buddy!

4. He’s cutting four, FOUR, teeth at once right now. Ouch.

6. If you are thinking about booking a session this summer, contact me soon! My calendar is just about full, with just a […]

this is bad. i’m not ready. i just want to scream nooooooooo from the rooftop.

taryn was on the back porch, blowing bubbles. when teagan got done with his snack, he ran over to the back door and started to yell at her. of course hoping she’d let him out (not a chance, she likes to torture him like that). i thought he looked cute standing there, so i grabbed my camera off the shelf nearby…

when all of a sudden…

no no no

i’m not ready for this little dude. i enjoy keeping you out of […]

1. I caught this the other day when I arrived at this location a little early.

2. This is amazing. Anne shared this with me and it says so much. He articulates so much about how I feel about photography. Seeing not just the light, but the light in people. Finding yourself in your work, recognizing your vision, being open, seeing and embracing what is around you instead of trying to make it perfect, giving of yourself and celebrating what is right. It’s 20 minutes long, but by far the best 20 minutes I’ve spent on the web in quite a while. Worth it.

3. I love this.

4. We’ve […]

nice, or maybe not.

After fixing her hair twice this morning in 30 minutes……

Me: T, why did you take your ponytail out? Was it bugging you?

Taryn: No Mom, you are bugging me.

Niiiiice.

because I never want to forget this

tonight was movie night.

cheap frozen pizzas we ate in the living room, rare for us.

freshly bathed kiddos.

sleeping bags, pillows, blankies.

a big bowl of popcorn.

we all layed on the floor in a row, all lined up to watch ‘bolt’

and one precious baby boy.

he got up and went from one person to the next.

kissing us each on the head with a loud “MWAH”.

and when he got to the end of the line, he’d go back and start at the beginning.

and do it all over again.

cutest thing ever.
