the surgery

Yesterday we got up early for Taryn’s surgery. We had to leave the house at 9:30 am and since she wasn’t allowed to eat or drink anything, I took her out for a walk while Teagan and Jase ate. Ty had already eaten before she got up, so he went a long. It was a bit cold (oh my word, can you even believe it Texas?!) and drizzling, but we managed to fight off the rain long enough for the little dude to eat. Down to the end of the block and back a few times. She and Ty raced, and like always, he let her win.

Her surgery went well. It […]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I will be out of reach for awhile. Taryn goes in for her surgery tomorrow morning. I will not be answering emails or voicemail until she gets home later this week and she’s settled in and on her way to recovering. If you need to reach me, please send me an email and I’ll get back in touch with you just as soon as I can, most likely over the weekend. Ty’s school project ice cream winners will also be announced this weekend, so be sure to watch for that!

If you have a moment to send up a prayer for our girl, we’d sure appreciate it. She’s in a pretty fragile […]

Hi, I’m Ty. I am doing a project for my math class. I have to take a poll and my mom said I could use her blog. Hello, blog people. It is a data collection project. I have to create a teacher approved survey question, survey a minimum of 50 people and do a tally sheet. I will do a frequency table and graph the results with a title, labels and creative display of the results.

My teacher approved survey question is:

Thanks, Ty

1. Taryn shocked us all just 1 day after breaking her arm when she sat down and wrote out the entire alphabet with ease with her left hand. She’s right handed!

Jase was watching her and told her how “awesome” she is that she can do that. Still on a lot of pain meds, she absolutely fell apart…..”d-d-d-d-d-d-don’t c-c-c-c-c-c-call meeeee awe-some”. Poor girl, she had an emotional few days that required lots of love, hugs and an unreal amount of patience.

2. This little one is still having a hard time adjusting to one nap a day. And by hard time, I mean, falls asleep in random places all over the house mid […]

T’s new trick | austin children’s photographer

So last night, Ty was at church and Teagan and Jase had to run a few errands, it was just Taryn and I at home. She runs up and says “Mommy, you wonna take my picture?” I was shocked and stunned and then I realized she might change her mind quickly so I jumped up and ran for my camera. Turns out she wanted to show me her new trick she’s been practicing….mostly at the dinner table in an effort to make Teagan laugh (it works).

Talking about it.

Thinking about it.

It takes a lot of concentration. Notice the lip, HA!
