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!

the last few weeks have kicked my butt

I’m still here. Just not sure where to start or what to say. Not very many good things have been going on, so I’ve found myself a bit speechless around here. I don’t think my blog has been this quiet in a loooooong time. Especially with so much going on at home. But to say the events of the last few weeks have kicked my butt would not quite cut it. I think it caught up with me……I managed to have a nice little pinched nerve in my back. My bodies way of saying slow down, enough already. Thank God my mom was here to help me. And Jase. And the kids. I didn’t know exactly how much I needed […]

home from the ER, once again.

This has been a horrible, horrible week for our family. Earlier this week Teagan was rushed to the ER for breathing issues (full story in my post below). We’ve been struggling to keep Taryn well enough to have surgery next week. It was just supposed to be to have her tonsils and adenoids removed but through the entire nightmare that is surgery pre-op workups, blood work, audiology exams, cultures, etc., we found out the surgery will be more extensive that we initially hoped. Her ENT said this is one of the worst cases she’s seen in a very long time, her adenoids are so huge they are all but blocking off the area behind her nose. Her tonsils are almost […]

I just wanted to post really quick to say I haven’t totally disappeared. If you’ve emailed me or called and haven’t gotten a reply, I will get back to you. Everything went crazy when Taryn & Teagan started to not feel very well. I went in to check on Teagan around 10:30 pm last night and his breathing sounded off. We tried to move him to his side to see if that helped but it just woke him up and he started with a coughing fit. We both quickly realized that he sounded really bad and decided to put him in our room for the night. At 1 am he woke in a panic, wheezing, unable to catch his breath. […]

I was wrapping up work for the night and went to go check on the kids one last time before heading to bed myself. As I rounded the corner in the hall, I noticed Taryn’s light was on and the door open. Not that strange since she’ll sometimes get up to go to the bathroom then head straight back to bed and go to sleep (most of the time anyway). Then I heard the rustling of paper. When I landed at her door I was shocked to see she was sitting on her bed, feet propped up, wide awake, reading.

Me: What are you doing?

Her: ((looking at me like I must be a total flippin’ idiot))…..reading

Me: Why?!

Her: ((very matter of […]
