to print our wedding photos. i should have done it a long time ago. but in all honesty, i didn’t love them. i love him. the photos….eh. after digging through hundreds of proofs and tweaking and editing and creative cropping, i can honestly say that I do love these. and that is enough. so….finally…..a wedding wall. jason was somewhat shocked when he walked through the door today. he put up the shelves but had no clue what was going on them. and neither did i until i sat down to order. i put 3 orders in my cart and deleted them one by one, trying to find the right combo of pics before i even thought ‘wedding’. we thought we […]

1. For those of you waiting on the Birth Experience Mentoring – IT IS COMING! I promise! I just want it to be good. And real. And informative. And valuable. I want to do it right or not at all. More info on it coming soon, but in the meantime, thank you for your patience!

2. A little good news. Taryn took 5 bites of food today. Doesn’t sound like much but I’m thrilled with it. She’s down several pounds and didn’t have it to loose. I am hopeful for that magic moment when she will just start eating again. She had some damage to her tongue and cheeks when intubated and I think that is causing her not to […]

i love him. he IS captain awesome.

uhm, is it just me or does he look really big all of a sudden?! i fell in love with this sweatshirt the second I spotted it on the clearance rack.

and did you notice he went blonde? it was weird, he got up one day a few weeks ago and Jase and I both looked at him, then each other and said, “what happened?!?!” it literally happened overnight.

he is very, very busy these days. I had to post the photo of the back of his head […]

praying for strength or a margarita

But I’d take both.

It’s been a long couple of days. Taryn was discharged from the hospital on Thursday. Very thankful for that. The hard part….Wednesday, after being at the hospital all day, Jase brought the boys home for the night and Ty came down with a cough and fever. The next morning, Jase brought him straight to our pedi and thankfully, they don’t think it’s the flu. We informed Taryn’s caregivers in the hospital that Ty was sick and were told we could only bring her home if we sanitized every.single.thing, the children wore masks and we quarantined them into separate rooms. Yeah, not fun. We totally understand though because Taryn’s wound sites are larger than normal and even the […]
