the sale
Well, a quick update this morning as I log in from our hotel. After a long couple of days, we’re all moved out of the house and the sale occurs this morning. Part of me is sad, it’s our house, our home. Jason lived there when we got engaged, it’s where we returned after getting married in Hawai’i, we found out we were having Taryn in that house, and it’s where we brought her home from the hospital. Tons of memories, birthday, Christmas’s, doing homework at the kitchen table, fixing dinner. We became a family, we grew, we changed and we loved, all in that house. And then there is this little voice in the back of my head that […]
Thank God for my Mom.
The Gee came to my rescue today. She showed up with a smile and worked her tail off, packed the kitchen, entertained Taryn, changed diapers, picked up Ty from school and even took out the trash. I don’t know what I would have done without her today, I’ve been awake since 3:30 am and feeling pretty bad all day. Very sore and crampy from over doing it while packing yesterday. Thanks Mom, you rock. Moving truck arrives first thing in the morning. We’re exhausted, and not quite ready. Our last night in the house….is, yup, you guessed it, total chaos.
lookie
A new blog header…..old bath pic of Taryn but it cracks me up 🙂 It’s like she’s saying "AHHHHHH JOIN THE CHAOS!" lol Oh, and I added a new list over on the side over there on the right, "What’s in my camera bag", check it out. I get a lot of emails and questions about what equipment I use so I thought it would be easy just to list it here. I also used to have a handful of lenses for the D50 (the 85 mm 1.8 and 70-300 but sold them when I bought the 5D). Alright, I gotta get off this computer before Jason gets home with the kids….they ran out to get more tape and I […]
Quote Of The Day
"I can’t win. I talk about food and you either glare at me and gag, or send me to the store to buy you something." ~ Jason ~ (who is struggling while dealing with the never ending, never know what you’re gonna get, morning sickness or food craving, pregnant wife) =) On another note, my cute husband picked up the camera last weekend! Me and Little T testing out our new recliner….a new favorite place for this pregnant lady to sleep. Works pretty good for tuckered out toddlers too…
A date with Gee
Date night is a weekly thing at our house. My mom wrangles the kids, takes them out for a night of fun and Jase and I have some time to ourselves, a quiet dinner out usually. We’re thankful for it, so thankful. Wednesday nights, smack dab in the middle of the week, a little break, to last us until Friday. So last night was the last date night where my mom took off with the kids for awhile. Bittersweet. She happened to mention to Ty that he could pick his favorite date night activity. Of course she thought he’d pick swimming, skating or the arcade. And he woulda if I hadn’t whispered "Chuck*E*Cheese" loud enough for everyone to hear. I […]
hurry up and wait
Things are looking up on the home front. We are hopeful that everything will work out with both the house and Jason’s job situation, just in the nick of time. We should know more today actually. With any luck at all we’ll be packing up the house like crazy people through the weekend! We’re not good at the ole hurry up and wait routine. It’s stressful. T’s getting a little bored with it herself…. Actually, she was waiting on me to finish snapping so she could go watch Little Einsteins 😉 Ahh, the life of a 2 year old. She’s been into so much lately and says the funniest things. I need to gather them all together in my mind […]
