1. Teagan weaned. All on his own. Cold turkey. A week ago Friday. I’m sad. And proud. I can look at him right now and say, I grew that. Look what I did. And I’m proud of that. But I miss it. Horribly. Probably doesn’t help that since he went cold turkey that I’m in a lot of pain. Thanks little dude. If y’all hear about a cow exploding just north of Austin, no worries, it’s just me. Seriously though, tough time, end of an era. I’m trying to focus on the positives…like getting my thyroid rechecked and under control. It’s still all out of whack from having Taryn and I refused to take the necessary meds while pg or […]

When it landed on our doorstep this afternoon, Ty’s chest swelled up with pride. I’m proud of him. And LOOK! That is me with my babies!

Can I just say……whoooooo-weeee that’s a big ole belly!

Ty took the winning photo of Taryn and I when I was pregnant with Teagan. I’ll never forget this photo, mostly because I was cracking up. Teagan was breach and waited until almost the very end to turn. Every day, several times a day, Taryn would yell into my belly button, “HEAD DOWN BOY, HEAD DOWN”….and that’s what she was doing right before Ty snapped this shot. Part of our winnings were to have a photo shoot with […]

crack up

We do little interviews every so often with Taryn asking her questions about her name, her favorite color, her best friend, etc. I’m not even sure what to say to this little gem. Except of course that she is a total crack up.

a new photo display | austin photographer

If you are a facebook fan, you know I’ve been posting little sneak peeks of the newest photo display idea going up in our house. I am constantly looking for new and different ways to display photos in our house. It is a challenge because I’m bad (really bad) about not printing any of my personal work. If I do, it’s just a few here and there. And while shoving a 4×6 in an album is nice and all, I rarely do it. I want our home, the place we live and love and grow and change to be filled with the everyday captures of our life. I want my children to be in our home and feel the […]

a rough one

Lyndsay Stradtner2009-07-16T17:52:32-05:00July 16th, 2009|My Family|

this week has been a rough one. every.single.day. all 3 kids seem to be tired, cranky, high maintenance, or at least, more so than usual. taryn especially. it’s been bad. really bad. she’s pulled everything to banging on the walls at naptime to throwing books, jumping off the furniture, screaming as loud as she can over every.little.thing. meltdowns gallore. flat out refuses to eat. cannot sit still, which is really, really not like her. i actually sat in our bedroom for a few minutes before jason left this morning and just cried. knowing what was coming during the day. and it did. just totally overwhelmed. and then jase had a lightbulb moment after my 3rd email about our day and […]
