I’m reminded that capturing their everyday moments is so valuable to me. What they do slowly becomes who they are. Every night, we eat together as a family at the table. We talk and eat and duck should food go flying across the table. We ask Taryn to stop wiggling, we shoe the dog away from Teagan. After seconds and sometimes thirds, Ty loads the dishwasher and jumps in the shower. Jase does bath duty with the little ones. They run out, clean, messy hair, giggling. Buzz and monkey jammies with wet noggins they […]

I feel like I’m constantly worrying, watching, listening, hovering….waiting. For him to be sick. And for him to be better. Teagan’s breathing was pretty good this morning so we decided that instead of facing the crowds at Zilker, we’d stay closer to home just in case he took a turn for the worse. Fighting the crowds and the traffic just didn’t sound like fun. Instead we picked up some […]
