{Waiting on Spring} Sheridan, Wyoming Child Photographer
The past week has been filled with coughing, vomiting, fevers, sleepless nights, mile-high piles of laundry, lots of cuddles and more than our fair share of goobers. And so even though we saw the doc one last time today to make sure neither of the kids had bronchitis or pneumonia, we now must endure and wait anxiously for Spring. I threw all cold-air caution to the wind (literally) considering the degree of cabin fever we have, and took them out to ride their bikes this afternoon. And between pouring snot and coughing spells, I got the above shot that just makes my heart swell.
I was up all last night with Jackson, tending to 104 degree fevers, vomiting, repeated breathing treatments and lots of hot snuggling. Although having sick kids is miserable, there’s something so endearing about a sick baby – it just melts my heart. In the mean time, I’ve been snapping away the left-over smiles. Seriously, I have no idea how children continue to play and smile and laugh when they are as sick as they’ve ever been. Last night Jackson could barely breath, was blazing hot and lying next to me in bed; I started singing to him and he just sang right along, as if he was dutied to do so while he stroked my arm, as if I needed comforting. So adorable.
Here are a few quick shots of the little man of the house:
I was supposed to have two boudoir sessions this afternoon, but had to cancel them, unfortunately. Hopefully we’ll be able to reschedule soon and I will be back with some previews! Until then, enjoy your week!

Best looking kids ever!!
Awwww! These are so sweet. You’d never know they were sick. Hope everyone gets to feeling better.
Hello! I love your blog! Your kids are absolutely darling! I am so sorry they have been so sick – mine had it for three weeks in January and it was rough. No puking, but the rest of it! And like you, we went back to the doctor to make sure it wasn’t pneumonia or bronchitis. It finally passed, but it took forever!
I am LOVING that first image! WOW! What a capture! That lighting is fabulous!
I am glad you found me and left a comment so I can pop in on you now!
Thanks! And happy Monday – may this be the week your kids get well!
Even sick they are adorable! Great shots.. beautiful children. Taking care of the children when they are sick was always fulfilling to me. Singing, cuddling, I miss those days.

Your kiddos are just darling…even if they haven’t been feeling well! So sorry they have been so sick! That is super rough on everyone in the family! Hope you all get on the other side of it soon!
