Zachary John Stradtner was born February 12, 2017 at 10:47 am. He weighs 7 lbs 15 oz and is 20 inches long. His birth was very different than our plan, but Gods plan was to keep Zachary and I here and healthy. Thank you to our amazing midwife, Heather Hilton, and our birth team for keeping us safe and well cared for. His birth experience was traumatic and we are just starting to process and cope. We will come back and share more photos and video as we do (both Tara and Kayla were with us throughout his birth and we are so thankful for their talent, time and unending support). The last few days have been […]

Catching up on a bit of 2016 blogging so please bare with me. This was actually 2 camping trips ago. We had a great time, but it was a tough trip for me. I had a serious foot injury, which meant limited mobility, no hiking, no exploring, no going down to the water to play with the kids (and no water photos this time around with the exception of the ones we took at Garner State Park). But the trip was still so worth it through the pain. Camping is our big reset button as a family. No electronics, reconnecting, outside in nature. Maggie and her obsession with thinking she’s a people and sitting in people chairs still makes […]

Ruby had to have her very own photo shoot this evening. Taryn and my mom are signed up to go do Painting With A Twist where you paint your pet. And Rubes needed a new headshot. Afterwards, T snuck in a few snuggles. This girl loves animals.

I absolutely treasured the photos from my 2015 365 project. But a bad foot injury killed my 365 Project in 2016 and having missed out on so many little, every day, moments hurts my heart. So…new year…new 365! I’ll admit I set this shot up because I want to end the year with a similar shot, but with out new baby boy (who will be 10 months old(ish) tucked in next to Jonah!

Jude turns 8 | Personal

Jude turned 8 in February. I finally got around to taking his birthday photos in May. And I’m just now getting around to blogging them at the end of August. Behind much, Lyndsay? Yes, indeed! Life has pretty much been eating me alive in 2016. After a serious foot injury that knocked me off my feet and every aspect of life for 5 months, getting my act together just hasn’t been possible. But I’ve slowed down, and that needed to happen. Anyway….my duder is 8! Not a day goes by that we are not thankful to the Lord that he’s here with us, healthy and strong! He’s this really beautiful, faith filled, […]

Ty Senior Photos | Personal

Ty graduated and can’t even tell you how proud of him are. Time flies. I don’t know how we are here already, but we blinked and he went from a baby to a grown man. We got to celebrate his graduation and birthday all on the same day even! After 19 years, I really think he’s taught me more than I’ve taught him. I was just 2 years older then him when I had him, that’s hard to wrap my mind around! I’m super proud of him and miss him like crazy – he’s already moved out and is on his own. His high school years looked totally different than we all […]
