As always, there is a flip side. The daily reminders of time passing watching my toddler and teenager day to day are hard on this momma’s heart. But there is more. So, so much more.

I’ll never forget the day we told Ty that I was expecting Taryn. The smile on his face, one of the biggest I’d ever seen. ((Second only to the day we stood by a waterfall in Alabama where Jason proposed.)) I’ll never forget how he waited so intently and so well behaved while I was in a long 23+ hour labor with Taryn. He kept notes in a notebook and gathered details of […]
1. I feel like I’ve been living in a box tethered to my computer for the last month. This past weekend cured that. And I needed it more than even I realized. I’ve been chasing kids all day then logging on and working 12 hours. It’s catching up with me fast. Friday Jason’s parents came for a visit because they had a wedding to attend out on Lake Travis. It was perfect timing too because they were able to keep the kids Friday night while Jason and I went to see Conan O’Brien live in Austin.

This is not my idea or my project, it is one of the many cool things Taryn brings home from pre-k. I absolutely adore her teacher and will miss her during the 6 months between when Taryn starts kindergarten and Teagan starts pre-k.

1. My kids are in an ‘outside’ mode all.the.time. It is so much easier this year now that Teagan is a toddler to be outside all the time. Mother’s Day was spent digging in the mud, planting in our flower bed, getting dirty and just hanging outside. Teagan can dig a mean hole. And by dig I mean throw the shovel around in the mulch and make a huge mess. HA! But he loves it. This photo of he and Jase together isn’t in focus but it totally cracks me up! And Taryn took the photo of Ty on the tricycle doing a Taryn impression, funny stuff.

2. I swear we can […]
