join the chaos living up to its name
Today was a crazy day. Taryn is 2. And she’s good at it. Within a matter of a few hours she, dumped out her cereal and fruit all over the table (then spit in it….niiiiice), got into my makeup bag in the bathroom and had a good ole time with my lip gloss, decided to play with the soap and bubble bath, escaped out the back door in the cold wet weather to go play (she only got 1/2 down the stairs before I caught her though), tortured the dog a hand full of times until Kylie was begging to go outside and whined and fussed every chance she had. All this, before lunch. Which was pretty interesting in and […]
a baby update
I had an appt this morning to check for progress. Dr. says I’m making slow progress, only a little change, so that’s good. We believe that the little stinker flipped around and he may be breech. He still has some time to flip head down, but I go in next week for an ultrasound to check and discuss the possibility of manually trying to turn him via a version. I really hope he flips before then. I do not want to have a c-section if I can avoid it but the version doesn’t sound pleasant at all either. I hope it doesn’t come to that. The scary part, when I got there the nurse checked his heart rate and it […]
Teagan’s Nursery
HA! Did ya’ll catch that title?!?! I called our baby boy by NAME! Yuhessss! We are so excited, after 8.5 months of deliberating, to have decided on a name…..Teagan Jude Stradtner. And yesterday we finished the nursery. It’s a tiny little room but I just love the way it turned out. I still have a few little projects I’m working on, but it’s 99% done. We decided at the last minute to forgo the pretty chocolate colored upholstered rocking chair, we have two other rockers in the house and just couldn’t justify the expense. If we find we miss having one in there we can always add it later. I also still want to add a big brown circle rug […]
she makes me work for it
In an effort to try and locate the sweet spots of light in our new house I sat T down before lunch for a few shots. She wasn’t that interested though… "she’s talking to me, but I’m not gonna look at her or that black box of torture""it doesn’t matter if she dances…I’m not lookin""it doesn’t matter if she sings, this is reaaaaallllly boring" "talking about barney won’t work today mom…I’m onto your tricks…I’m not lookin""hhhmmmm, did she say candy?!?""I really do love candy""Look here Mommy, it’s time to pay up!" …and she’s done. LOL!Little stinker. Anyone know of a cure for PCS (Photographer’s Child Syndrome)? Ahhh, I can’t complain too much I suppose, I’ll have a captive model before […]
the love
I actually dug out the camera today, it’s been packed up and ready to make the trip to the hospital with us. Good thing I did too, the batteries were totally dead – yikes! I wanted to snap a few of Ty and Taryn together, mostly for Valentines Day, but also because it could be the last time I photograph just the two of them before #3 arrives. So we didn’t go far, total of 3 or 4 minutes on the back porch, since I’m supposed to be off my feet. When we came back inside, Ty was helping Taryn get her snack and drink and I caught this really quick in the kitchen. I just love the way they […]
