the quiet moments are rare

sweet baby, who woke too early from his nap. who looked up me from his crib, still sleepy, but eyes open. on any other day, your sister would have followed me in, with bouncy 3 year old energy. you would have looked at her, your eyes would get big and bright and you’d smile at her and then laugh. just like you always do. and you’d be up. and awake. ready to play. but today, that little 3 year old ball of energy was in school, and the house was quiet. you looked up at me, i scooped you in to my arms with your favorite blankie, and we rocked. you laid in my arms, quiet, just gazing at me.

If you remember this photo of Taryn you deserve a cookie, cause you’ve been around awhile! Funny girl, 9 months old herself.

I’ll admit, I set him up….funny how he knew just what to do. The wipe on the head….that was alllllll him. Swear.

Love my babies.

1. Not only was yesterday our anniversary, but Teagan also turned 9 months old. It’s flying by. I had a potential client email me about a session in February for her child’s first birthday. My first thought was “oh wow, I need to be getting ready for that too!” More emotional preparation than anything I think.

2. He says “dada”. With intent. Love it. It’s soooooo cute. Jase melts and who can blame him.

3. Thursday is the big day, Ty’s school play. Can’t wait. Gotta get there early to get a front row seat.

4. Taryn saw this in a catalog and went crazy. Why, on earth, such a thing as a pink christmas tree exists, is beyond me. We planned […]

welcome to finger foods

I brought home some new smock bibs this week and when Jase saw them on the counter, he picked one up and said “honey, are you going to be throwing the food at him?” LOL…actually, it’s the other way around. Maybe I need to rethink this strategy, I’m the one that needs to be covered in plastic!

In all honesty, the mess makes me crazy. Yeah, he’s cute and all, but I despise cleaning scrubbing the highchair 3 times a day, picking food out of his hair, ears, everywhere. I do like him having a mid day bath each day, Little T likes to help and we usually just […]

1. First up, I miss my daily blogging. It’s my therapy. Must find a way to get back to it. Busy season, is indeed, busy! But busy is good, except for my blog.

2. After I finished up at my last shoot on Sunday, I loaded into my car and got on the road. I always call home to see what the family is up to, and chat with whoever feels like chatting. When T said she wanted to talk I asked her what she was doing “Not much, just eatin’ a ham samich with the pickles out” LOL! I suppose that is opposed to having the pickles in. Yeah, […]
