Sprout Portraits » Fresh Family Photography in Austin, TX

me

I live in South Austin with my husband, our three kids, my three chickens, and our old dog, Roo, who has been with us from the beginning. I'm often frazzled but rarely bored.

I love good books, lively conversation, Ruta Maya coffee, eating out, happy hour, my friends, photography, and my wild family.

A little extra insight from the two who can talk:
"You always say I'm tired and you're always incorrect." (Seamus, at age 5)
"Don't sing, Mom. You are not a[n] animal rescuer." (Finn, at age 2)

p.s. I was 10 weeks pregnant with Maggie in this photo (taken by the wonderful Bobbi+Mike)

Seamus’s 5th

Sunday, January 24, 2010 Posted in Children, Personal

Seamus is finally on the cusp of the day he’s been waiting the last 5 years for! We had a dinosaur party this weekend at the Austin Nature and Science Center to celebrate. The ANSC is part of Zilker park and is one of Austin’s hidden treasures. If you haven’t been, GO! And while you’re there, visit the birds of prey and take a quick hike up to the Lookout.

Renee made these amazing cupcakes. The flavors were chocolate cake with chocolate/caramel frosting and marble cake with mint frosting. Delicious and gorgeous! The kids and adults were equally impressed.

My mom came up with some activities to entertain the little ones at the Dino Pit. Finn had a blast with the dinosaur feet.
