PINKLE TOES PHOTOGRAPHY: ill fated (Austin Kids Photographer)
First, check out my new old chair! We sent some chairs to be redone several months ago and finally got them back today. I wish I had a before pic to show you. Oh, man, these are an amazing improvement. I cannot wait to use them in sessions next year! Some of you may be a little upset to learn that the famous purple couch is also getting a face lift for 2009. I’m even more excited about that one, but you’ll just have to wait and see…
Okay, so this past weekend, my mom took T for his weekend away and so we could have alone time with L. I was really looking forward to hanging out and snuggling with my little guy, but wow! Who took my sweet little snuggle bug and replaced him with a moody, whining, temperamental boy?? I don’t know if it’s his natural progression or perhaps he’s sensing the big changes about to take place in our family, but this is breaking my heart. I had us all lined up to see The Very Hungry Caterpillar on stage followed by a carriage ride downtown, but he wanted NO part of it. You can tell how thrilled he was in the above pic. It was so bad, we had to leave the theater. You may have actually seen the two of us sitting on the curb of Congress Avenue on Sunday bawling together. It was a sight I’m sure. I just don’t know if I can take losing my little boy like this…how do I reassure him that even though he won’t be the “baby” of our family, I will love him for all that he is no matter what? It’s hard to type this, actually…
Moving on…
Can I also tell you that it’s KILLING me that I can’t show you my latest batch of cards and announcements, yet?!!! Oh, we’ve had some amazingly fun and beautiful designs this year featuring some equally wonderful images. The first of the year, maybe I’ll do a card parade.
Okay, I’m going to get back to basting my little turkey now.

Oh Michele, we’ve been there….Teagan rocked Taryn’s world and it took awhile for her to snap out of it…it was difficult at times. Just hold him tight and love him. Hugs!

The chair looks great. Sorry your son is wrestling with the changes right now. I’m sure you’ll have some rocky days ahead but a sibling is a lifelong gift for your little fellow and he’ll feel like that soon enough :)

I love the new couch. I’m in love with fabric like that. I can’t wait to see the purple couch now. I’m sad that we won’t be seeing any more of the purple but I guess it did it’s job in purple already :)
I’m sorry your littlest one is having a hard time with everything. I’m sure its a really rough time for the youngest no longer being the youngest. My sister was born when I was 8 and I remember feeling pretty left out because I was the only child and now all attention was on her. I guess it’s pretty normal though to feel that way. You’ll have to keep us posted on everything as Miss Pinkle Toes arrives.
Ooo… and tell me where you got that shirt in the second pic! That is tooooo cute!

Michele ~ Having the three boys, I know what little L is going through. Before we had our 3rd, my Eli was feeling the same way. I really played up the fact that he was the ONLY one that was going to be a BIG brother AND a LITTLE brother!!!! He really takes comfort in that. Good luck to you, it will get better.

Hang in there. Motherhood sure isn’t for the weak!
