1. I woke up to a rude awakening of toddlers yelling directly into the monitor over who called who stupid at 5:03 am. Maybe room sharing was a total dream…..sigh. For the record, it was the duder. We’re working on ridding his vocabulary of the word “doo-pid” and it makes me crazy. I don’t like that word at all. It went something like this:

Taryn: MAAAAAWWWWM! Teagan called me stupid!!
Teagan: No I didn’t!
Taryn: Yes you did Teagan!
Teagan: No I didn’t! Doo-Pid.

Tonight turned out to be the perfect night for it…no school tomorrow, I don’t have a session at the crack of dawn, no one has to get up early (although they probably still will…sigh) and Ty is staying the night with a buddy which means they won’t wake him up if […]

I had the morning off today and since the kids woke up pre crack of dawn (yuck!), I decided to take T out for a little sunrise session. I desperately wanted to photograph her in front of the purple flowers again that show up in our neighborhood every fall. But last year, she was just so sick. We were dealing with bout after bout of strep and couldn’t keep her well, not to mention the fact that she broke her arm. She had surgery to remove her adenoids and tonsils along with a lot of scar tissue last mid-October and it took weeks for her to recover. Fall was tough. But this fall, this fall, we are embracing […]
