three things that made me smile….

1. Tonight Taryn and Jason had a daddy daughter date night. They took off to Toys R Us to spend her giftcard she got for her birthday, then they were to head to dinner. She got to pick and she said she wanted “meatballs”. Jase called me from the road midroute, thinking they would be eating italian….nope, not our girl, she wanted IKEA meatballs. I love that kid so much. She makes me laugh.

2. Yesterday, Teagan was helping Jase with laundry and Jason had him carry a little towel into his room, put it in the drawer in the closet and close it. We’re not sure when it happened, but today we discovered Taryn’s pj’s also tucked ever so neatly […]

Yes you are little dude, yes you are.

Last night was rough. Jase and I didn’t make our way to bed until around 2:30ish. Then Taryn woke up at 3, decided to go in and wake up Teagan by screaming his name at his door. Not cool. He freaked out and started screaming. Jase and I each take one kid to get them back to sleep. Somehow we ended up with both of them in bed with us. Well that didn’t work, all they did was kick and fuss at each other, I got a lovely full on headbutt to the eye….yadda yadda yadda. All this to say, I’m sleep deprived, […]

friday night randomness….

well, technically it’s saturday early am since it is past midnight, but it’s nowhere near my bedtime just yet, so I’m going to say it is still Friday for my own sake. and there ya go.

1. So excited to see so many people throwing their cities in the mix here and over on the Facebook fan page. Looks like Seattle, Chicago and maybe Nashville are in the lead….I haven’t done an official count so keep them coming if you think you’d be interested in a session. No official dates have been set yet but I’m thinking either the fall or January due to my birth schedule and being on call. I’m excited to plan it all out….

1. We have huge news at our house. Taryn has a new favorite color. When your life and house and all major 4 year old decisions revolve around a favorite color, when it changes, it’s huge. We’ll be doing something to celebrate and embrace her new favorite hue of choice later this week.

2. Even bigger news…..Taryn found something amazing at the beach. I was so excited to tell her and I wish you could have seen her face, thrilled, tickled, breathless doesn’t even begin to describe it. She found……..FRECKLES. And whenever you talk about the freckles she found at the beach, her shoulders rise a little and her face lights up with the deepest giggle you’ve ever heard. Cutest thing […]

little dude, love you | austin family photographer

I love the way you say Momma with intensity, with urgency. “Daddy” is calm, “Taryn” is calm, “Ty” is calm, “Momma” is urgent. And loud. And funny.

I love the way you named your blankie “Mae”. You have no idea that Ty’s lovie when he was a baby was a dog named “Freckle Mae The Wonder Dog” or that when Taryn was born she renamed that dog “Mae Mae”. What are the odds you’d choose Mae for your lovie too with no encouragment.

I love it when you look at me like this. I melt into a big pile of mush every single time…..

I love your teeth right now. I know they […]
