1. I have come to the realization that I’m never going to catch up. If it didn’t happen in January, it’s probably not going to. I have sessions that are 2 months old that I haven’t blogged yet, not to mention a few births and a stack of personal photos. I haven’t been taking very many photos at home though this month….thankfully the iphone is never far away….

2. This week was the first time since Teagan was around 6 weeks old that I cried before getting out of bed at the mere thought of my husband leaving me alone with the children for the day. It was rough. The […]

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, the dude turns 2. He’s been running around yelling “IT MY BIRTHDAY” in his best angry voice all day long. I do think that it might not be the best sign that this is his birthday shot for the year…..

Yup, he’s 2 alright.

ETA: #2 shirt came from THIS etsy seller.

Just me and him, hanging out in his room this morning, reading books. It was nice to spend a quiet morning with my duder. The big kids were off school the better part of this week. I think this is the first shot I have of him in his new room….

Busy weekend ahead, a dusk/night session tonight with Michele for our helping hearts winner, a session downtown with Lily, Jack and their peeps on Saturday, Sunday is Teagan’s session with Kerri Mathis and the Saints Superbowl! Oh, and that little one up there turns 2 next week, can you believe it!? Happy Friday!!

1. Hitting Tuesday just under the wire, it is 11:30 pm here.

2. I had oral surgery yesterday, again, and I hurt. Seems like the second day is always worse than the first.

3. I’m taking the kids to the mall tomorrow. Wish me luck. I’m on the hunt for an outfit for Teagan for his birthday pics. And for once I’m not taking them! Who-Rah! Kerri Mathis is coming up from Houston to take them and I’m so excited to meet her! Anyone care to join me in some blog stalking next week?

4. My husband, who doesn’t blog, read this blog or leave comments very often, left one here that made me tear up. It’s really crazy to read […]

Life in Motion Photography: 2009, a look back | austin family photographer lyndsay stradtner

I am opting out of my usual top 10 this year. Instead I chose a favorite image of each of the kids. I realize how they have grown and changed. For Ty, it was the year he grew (and ATE!), the year he became a better friend, read about 700 pages per week, entered middle school, got his first girlfriend and a cell phone. He learned about bullies, about the importance of choosing good friends, about being a better friend. He is thoughtful, and kind. He loves a good, long hug and time away just for him with either of us. He’s loud and rowdy and so much fun. 2010 will bring him to an official teenager. The phone will […]

I was in the kitchen, they were in the living room playing.

Taryn: Teagan! Come here bud. Now give me a hug.

Pause

Taryn: Bud, that’s what love is.

Teagan: yeeeeaahh.
