so many things i want to remember….ok, a few I don’t want to remember like Teagan cutting his first tooth, everyone being really sick, ear infections…..but I digress…

knowing that buying less gifts this year didn’t change us or the meaning of christmas . the excitement in the air as the grandparents arrived . watching the wonder in teagan’s eyes with each new experience . he was just as happy with the bow on the box as he was with the gift in the box . christmas jammies with names on the hiney . pretty red monogrammed dresses . the kids love uncle scott more than santa . watch t run […]

After naps today Taryn and Teagan were in the playroom, I went to the bathroom and when I came back, I couldn’t find Teagan. He has his favorite spots in the house so I hit those first with no luck. As I was walking through the kitchen I spotted him, spoon left over from lunch, clutched in his hand (yes, it was still on the floor), waiting, just like this. Thankfully my camera was on the counter. You can practically hear him….”mom, i’m not amused, put the camera down and get me some cheerios”.

i’m a doggie. bark bark.

We hear this at least 20 times a day. No exaggeration. It’s not the sound of a bark, it’s the word “bark”. This has been going on for at least 6 months, probably longer. Her imagination and the ways she uses being a dog, never cease to amaze me, she’s a smart cookie doggie.

Anyway, yesterday, I had plans to take Ty and Taryn off shopping while Jase stayed home with Teagan so he could nap. Ty decided not to go, which suprised me. When Taryn and I got back, we found out why. He built our little doggie a dog house. How sweet is he?! Gosh I just love him.
