Teagan hasn’t been feeling well and while we had his birthday party all planned, the cake and balloons ordered and the house all cleaned and ready….it just didn’t happen.

And even though the house wasn’t filled with fun toddlers like we’d planned, we still had cake made by the fabulous Humble Pie Desserts in Round Rock (so yummy!), opened gifts and just enjoyed our little dude.

I have sessions that are 2 months old that I haven’t blogged yet, not to mention a few births and a stack of personal photos. I haven’t been taking very many photos at home though this month….thankfully the iphone is never far away….

2. This week was the first time since Teagan was around 6 weeks old that I cried before getting out of bed at the mere thought of my husband leaving me alone with the children for the day. It was rough. The […]
