What a week..

It has been quite a week around here. I say that, but then you'll start to think there has been all kind of goings on and things happening you will be disappointed to know that all that happended was sickness. But there was lots of it! Hayden got sick a week ago today with a fever.. and I won't go into the long, drawn out details, I will just say that he ended up getting Roseola (viral rash) and RSV at the same time. There were quite a few days this last week that he didn't really even move much, and when he did he whimpered. It was soooo sad, and nothing makes a momma feel more helpless than when their babies are sick. And, of course, being as Hayden is such a good brother, he shared with his big sister! So, Hailey is sick now too. (I am monitoring her coughing from her bedroom as I type) They have both been hacking their little heads off these last two days, and I have been chasing them around the house with a kleenex box, trying to keep the neon green snot sludge from dripping into their mouths or onto the carpet!! I know its a tough job, but someone's gotta do it... and it's usually a momma!

Am sharing with you all our new family picture. It was the picture we had taken at church for the Church directory, and I must say that I am impressed, it turned out pretty nice. It's been a while since Lifetouch has taken any of my pictures!!

So, did you notice the new look? What do you think? I had such a hard time choosing, that I just might have to put up another one this week, just for fun... dress up for blogs.. how pathetic am I?!!!

On the work side of things I had three sessions this week/weekend that I had to cancel due to the sickness, so hopefully I can get those rescheduled soon, and I will be sharing some sneak peeks with you. One session is Brylee and Mae those sweet little baby twin girls that were born this last month... so stay tuned for those shots, I just can't wait!!!

Well, that's enough rambling for now. I just wanted to give an update, and let you all know that I am still here... have just been a bad blogger and going to bed at a reasonable hour instead of staying up all night working (playing) and blogging.

Will also be announcing some new things offered from Wright Photography... so stay tuned for that info also!

Blessings,

Happy 25th Anniversary

This is my Grandma and Grandpa, Bonnie and Gene Despaw and they just celebrated 25 years of marriage. This is a portrait of them that I took of them as a gift for their anniversary. They are two of the sweetest, downhome folks you ever met. They are faithful to their family, faithful to each other, and faithful to their Lord Jesus. I love them dearly, and am blessed to be part of their family.

Love and Blessings abounding,
Teresa

Picture of the day...

Little Hayden is almost a year old.... :~( And what I have to say about that is... I demand a recount!! I want to talk to somebody in management because I am just sure that there has been a miscalculation somewhere... it's just not possible!! Seriously... my heart is heavy that my baby boy is just about not a baby anymore..

Blessings,
Teresa

Sneak Peek

This is the Savage family- soon to grow by two little baby girls that are due to be born in about 11 days. I was lucky enough to get to take their picture today. I was very excited as it is my first official 'maternity' photo session. I hope that I will be showing you their newborn pictures soon. So here you go Jeremy and Jaime, here is your sneak peak....

Mission 'Binky Removal' almost complete....

Well I would like to apologize to any who have heard the distant sound of someone torturing a small child, it is probably coming from our house.... Hailey is giving up her binky this week. By force of course. We boxed up the binkies and sent them away to little tiny babies that still need binkies. After all Hailey is a 'big girl' now and doesn't need them anymore. So, in the spirit of Christmas we boxed them up and gave them away. She was hesitant at first, but she does love to take care of her babies... (that's how I conned her into it..) so she picked out a couple of bows for the box and wrote on it and then we put it on the front porch for the mailman to take and deliver. Later when she was really tired and thinking she needed a binky for comfort, she wasn't so sure it was such a good idea and wanted me to go buy some more. She wasn't so concerned about those little babies needing binkies because she needed it even more. Then came the screaming... so needless to say it has been an interesting couple of days. She has had her moments of complete meltdown, but surprisingly enough bedtime has been pretty easy. So, we are on day four now and she hasn't asked for it all day... I think I can see the light at the end of this tunnel. I am ready for the mission of 'binky removal' to be complete. I was just sure she was going to start college with a binky in her mouth. After the trouble Hailey has had growing out of hers, I am very glad Hayden is not a binky baby... weaning him from the breast might be just as hard though... sigh..... :~(

Just be still a minute, and let me take your picture!!

Well, it was Tyler's turn to model for me. I had to test out some new equipment and he said he would sit there and look pretty for me.. most of the time he was on the phone to his girlfriend... but I didn't post any of those.

They just don't make 'em like that anymore....

I don't have any pictures for you today... Sad I know. :( But I want to paint a picture for you real quick of my dear husband. He is a worker. Through and through, that man has a work ethic unmatched by any other person I know. It was something that drew me to him and was definelty a plus when we talked of marriage, is that I knew that he would work hard to support his family and that he would never be a deadbeat, and I would never have to work extra hard to bring up his slack. He is a very honorable, loyal, dedicated man. The reason I even bring this up is that he left for work yesterday at about 6:30 am like he always does... and returned home at 1:00am the next morning...after having to turn around and go back to work after he had already started home that evening. He put in a 17 hour day. And do you know that he did not complain a bit. He didn't gripe about the company, didn't bash his bosses... And I tell you this because I just want to give him some praise and recognition for how hard he works for our family. His normal schedule is two weeks on then two days off... so he gets four days off a month and lately he has been working some of those days also. I am so thankful for this husband God has given me. I find this quality in him so valuable and I treasure him for it. I work from home part time doing marketing/webdesign and have recently started up a photography business, doing what I can to bring in more income as I also continue to stay home and raise our children. With those things and 'mommy' 'mommy' 'mommy' 24hour days there are times that I NEED his help when he gets home. And there are times that I complain that he doesn't help enough, doesn't do this or do that or take care of things without me asking or telling him to.... but I am taking a step back tonight and sending up a prayer of thanks for this hard working man, who loves his family and will always give his all to provide for the family we have built together and the dreams we dream together. I hope that he would say that I am as dedicated to my work here at home, and our children and to our family....

Love and Blessings,
Mrs. Zachary Wright :)
