re-connected

I disconnected yesterday. Not because our internet was out, I needed to disconnect so that I could re-connect. There are times I feel like I’m burning both ends of the candle. Days where I feel like I can’t excel at anything because I’m too busy trying to do the next thing. Every aspect of my life gets little pieces of me, but none of them get all of me, the best part of me….most days I feel like I just move from one task to the next. I don’t want my life to be one big to do list. I miss the spontaneous moments with my kids. I miss taking off for the afternoon or morning, without even thinking about […]

pi.ti.ful.

I took his diego toy away. But ended up giving it right back. You woulda too…..he was pitiful.

This is going to be a crazy week, I have several sessions during the week, a birth on the books that could happen any time, and a weekend full of sessions. Busy, busy so be sure to check in often for lots of sneak peeks!!

We had a good weekend. We spent time cuddling the kids a little more than usual. My husband kept me on my toes. He made me want to pull out my hair, then the next minute he’d make me laugh. Must be the fresh air. We did a little spring cleaning. We had dinner with friends. It felt like spring. We had open windows and fresh air in the house. We played in the bluebonnets. We went down the slide in the backyard. We had mexican and bbq, it was a very Texas weekend. I worked on proofing a recent birth and we also had lots of family time. I even got to sneak away for an evening of shopping […]

Teagan has taken us on quite a wild ride with his hair. He was born with some, not tons, but some. Then it fell out. Then much to our surprise (since Taryn was bald for sooooo long), a bunch of fuzz popped up. Little dude had an all natural mohawk. We embraced it, it is just soooooo him. Such a juxtaposition, sweet lovey little baby, rock star hair. We’ve been talking for awhile about getting it cut, it was getting so long in the front, growing out and little strays were coming down into his eyes. Let me just say here that I never dreamed I’d be a mom who would give their baby a mohawk. And I will openly […]

I’m pretty sure Teagan reads my blog….

1. Sometimes we call Teagan “duder”….long for dude which is short for Teagan Jude The Dude.

2. Playing “oh no, the tickle bug is gonna get me!!” this morning in his room:

3. His hair is getting so long. I’m dying to cut it short. I totally see a faux hawk in his future. It’s just so him.

4. Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, Uh-OHhhhhh, and now you know what it is like to live at my house with a 13 month old duder. Lather, Rinse, Repeat 8 bazillion times a day.
