Thanks for all the well wishes, comments and emails about Ty.  He’s doing well today, in pain still but looking more his perky self by the minute.  He’s still eating mostly liquids but hopes to graduate to soft foods by tomorrow. Ok, now on to birthday pics.  Here are just a few snapshots.   Ice cream theme, so fun (and yummy)!  Ty and I made all the paper ice cream cones…. For the last few months Taryn has been asking her daddy for a "new bike"  –  she asks with this cute little head tilt thing with big puppy dog eyes…."daddy, taryn new bike"…there’s no way he could resist it.  Notice the new yellow crocs – her absolute favorite shoes in […]

Cause that’s when I’m awake.  Which seems to be a rarity these days.  Me being awake that is.  I took a 4 1/2 hour nap with the little one today and still went to bed at 9:30 pm.  I’ve never required this much sleep.  I can usually live on just 4 hours or so.  It’s insane.  And I’m talking good, kick butt, wake up in the same spot, don’t move all night, coma like sleep.  Theres nothing like good pregnancy sleep, I never knew it existed before I got pregnant with Ty.  I kinda feel sorry for men, they don’t really know how good sleep can be.  The bad part is, that as my head hit the pillow tonight, all […]

((((posting late as our internet was out again)))) Thanks to all of you who continue to check in on us, even though I haven’t been posting very often!  I used to be such a good blogger, I posted daily, religiously, without fail.  Our internet has been hit and miss all week for some reason.  And morning sickness has taken over.  It’s all consuming and debilitating, especially with 2 other children who don’t fully understand my sudden, and urgent, need to slow down a bit.  Thankfully, Ty is a huge help keeping Taryn busy during the day while Jason is at work if I just can’t keep up.  I’ve taken to napping with Taryn every day and then going to bed […]

the new hiding place of choice is the kitchen pantry.  She’s in and out of there 15 times a day at least.  Walking out of my bedroom I realized it was quiet.  Too quiet.  I walked into the kitchen and the pantry door was closed but the door handle was moving.  My camera was sitting on the counter thankfully.  Little stinker was trying to sneak up me!  She said "BOO MOMMY I SEE YOU!".  My funny girl.

but there is something about this that I just love.  I blew it out, so maybe it’s the motion.  Her.  Totally her.  Constantly moving, she’s everywhere and into everything.  It makes me crazy.  And I love it. She’s almost 2 and hasn’t had a haircut.  I really need to do something about that.  It’s so uneven, one side is longer than the other so it flips up.  Her hair is always in her face, I was hoping we could wait until it was all at least chin length and get her a cute little bob cut, but I don’t think we’re going to make it… I have my house back today.  It’s peaceful and fabulous, even if it is unfinished.  […]
