And just like that, in the blink of an eye, the dude turns 2. He’s been running around yelling “IT MY BIRTHDAY” in his best angry voice all day long. I do think that it might not be the best sign that this is his birthday shot for the year…..
Yup, he’s 2 alright.
ETA: #2 shirt came from THIS etsy seller.
Just me and him, hanging out in his room this morning, reading books. It was nice to spend a quiet morning with my duder. The big kids were off school the better part of this week. I think this is the first shot I have of him in his new room….
Busy weekend ahead, a dusk/night session tonight with Michele for our helping hearts winner, a session downtown with Lily, Jack and their peeps on Saturday, Sunday is Teagan’s session with Kerri Mathis and the Saints Superbowl! Oh, and that little one up there turns 2 next week, can you believe it!? Happy Friday!!
1. Hitting Tuesday just under the wire, it is 11:30 pm here.
2. I had oral surgery yesterday, again, and I hurt. Seems like the second day is always worse than the first.
3. I’m taking the kids to the mall tomorrow. Wish me luck. I’m on the hunt for an outfit for Teagan for his birthday pics. And for once I’m not taking them! Who-Rah! Kerri Mathis is coming up from Houston to take them and I’m so excited to meet her! Anyone care to join me in some blog stalking next week?
4. My husband, who doesn’t blog, read this blog or leave comments very often, left one here that made me tear up. It’s really crazy to read […]
Have you guys seen what Fresh Art Photography is doing to raise up women? It started out here. And then turned in to this. And I love it. As women we are so hard on ourselves and it’s always amazing at how other people, especially the ones we love the most, see us differently than we see ourselves. And as much as I encourage my client and friends and family to get in front of the camera so they can be seen and loved, it is hard for me to follow my own advice. For a long time I dished out that advice but thought the rule didn’t apply to me. Nah, I knew it did, I […]
I can honestly say that I’ve never cried over a football game, so it surprised even me when the field goal kick made it’s way up into the air and the tears came. I am so, so proud of our boys and so happy for our city. I can remember going to the Saints games as a kid, walking up to the stadium and buying tickets for under $30, only to enter and see a half empty stadium. As a kid, I was excited to be there and cheered for our team. We experienced a lot of loss through the years yet I’ve always been proud to be a Saints fan. And the Dome, once […]
I am opting out of my usual top 10 this year. Instead I chose a favorite image of each of the kids. I realize how they have grown and changed. For Ty, it was the year he grew (and ATE!), the year he became a better friend, read about 700 pages per week, entered middle school, got his first girlfriend and a cell phone. He learned about bullies, about the importance of choosing good friends, about being a better friend. He is thoughtful, and kind. He loves a good, long hug and time away just for him with either of us. He’s loud and rowdy and so much fun. 2010 will bring him to an official teenager. The phone will […]
