  • Day 1: Reporting In

    I consider today my first day on the job as an official SAHM. I was tired by 9:30. Last week was actually the first week of summer vacation, but my sister and her two rug rats drove down from New Mexico and spent the week with us.  So, of course, the house didn’t get cleaned,… Read more

  • Mother’s Day #1

    I got a new camera lens for Mother’s Day along with a salad spinner ( my request) and a bouquet of flowers. I spent the car trip home from Lubbock playing with my new lens, capturing images of J-Dub driving, EK sleeping, Ashy posing, and maybe an accidental shot of the dials on the dashboard.… Read more

  • I’m so giddy, I can’t think of a title

    My little 3 month old, EK, just left with her daddy to go check yearlings and feed horses.  They’ll be gone a couple of hours. Checking yearlings consists of driving through the pasture, feeding the young cows, counting them as they line up to eat, and looking them over good to check for sickness as… Read more

  • Tummy Time

    At last she’s tolerating her tummy time. Finally. Today she almost rolled over.  Almost. She just doesn’t know what to do with that one arm. It keeps getting in the way. I don’t mind. I kinda like looking at her like this anyway. Read more

  • 3 months

    My Dearest, Darling Emma Kate, You’re growing up much too quickly.  You’re no longer a tiny little baby but a whooping 12 pound 6 ounce three-month old. I’ve had to put away your little newborn sized clothes, and it nearly broke my heart.  I can’t believe how tiny you used to be.   You’ve almost… Read more

  • 2 months

    My dear Emma Kate, You are two months old already!  Time is zipping past.  I can’t hardly stand it.  I’m cherishing every day I have with you.   The biggest piece of advice I get from other moms is to not blink and take lots of pictures because you’ll be grown before I know it.… Read more

  • Shots.

    In two short days, my baby girl has to get her 2 month shots. Oh, how I dread it.  To the very core. She’s oblivious.  She doesn’t know what is up ahead.  But I do. She is content and happy, living in her little 2 month world.  Trusting her mama and daddy to take care… Read more

  • All Her Parts

      Our baby girl turned 8 weeks old yesterday. People say she’s tiny, but she’s already grown so much to me.     I tried to capture her in all her little 8 week oldness.  She’s changing so much, so quickly.     Her daddy’s in love with her side profile.  And all the rest… Read more

  • Just Emma

    Eat, sleep, poop, repeat. Our days   zoom past. Eat, sleep, poop, repeat. And I’m not just talking about EK either. Eat, sleep, poop, repeat. Sometimes in addition to the aforementioned, we take pictures. And on occasion, I’ll get a request from a family member for more pictures of EK. They pretty much all look… Read more

  • Celebrate Good Times

    My little traveler has already visited 3 states in her six short weeks of being alive.  She’s practically a world traveler. Her first trip was to the Green Country of  Northeastern Oklahoma to visit her Okie relatives. Mainly this sweet great-grandmother who just so happens to share her birthday. There’s only a mere 94 years… Read more
