We weren’t sure if she would want to go this year. Or if we’d even be able to swing it with Zachary’s arrival. I think she worries about being the oldest one there, but once she sees she is not, she’s happy to go back the next year. I love this tradition and the memories they are making are so precious. Oh, it was an “under the sea” theme so she made them both crowns of jewels to wear. Jason opted out of wearing his but I do have some video of him in it lol.
I’d say Taryn was the most anxious for Zachary to be born. Several times a day she would come to me and talk to me about how wonderful it’d be to have a new squishy baby in the house again. About his hands and feet and the top of head. About how cute he’d be and how much she was looking forward to holding him. She absolutely couldn’t wait to get her hands on him. And then when she did, he was small and felt fragile and it made her nervous. I noticed she wasn’t asking to hold him much in our first few days home. Sure enough, she admitted she felt […]
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!
Good Morning Sunshine.
Taryn has a new dental appliance that is helping her with sleep apnea. It’s working. She’s sleeping more than ever. She would normally rise as early at 4:45 or 5 am. Sleep disordered breathing is no fun and we are so thankful it’s working. This is her “Good Morning Sunshine” face when she sleeps in until 9:45 am. 9:45 am yall!! I can’t believe how much it has improved her sleep, mood and hormone regulation. The fact that it’s straightening her teeth = total bonus!
