Do you have any plans to stop this blog? Like have you set yourself a limit, or do you think it'll naturally just run its course? It'll be so sad if/when you stop blogging, you're one of the first blogs I check! All the best xx

I think it will happen naturally.

One day, I’m gonna have one of my tumblr friends leak that “Jeff is a fake and Ashtyn is a puppet.”

You’ll look for my blog and all you will see is:

We're did you get the adorable ancor dress the white one that is?

Thu, 23 May 2013 13:35:46 -0700

I’m 99% sure it’s from Target.

…Or Lindy handmade it from recycled newspapers. That woman is incredible.

Because people steal your photos so much, why don't you just watermark them?

Thu, 23 May 2013 13:31:51 -0700

Honestly? Because I think watermarks look stupid. When I print this blog out and bind it for Ashtyn, I don’t want to see “www.kidsraisingkids.tumblr.com” stamped across our memories.

Why can’t people just be respectful and give credit where credit is due?

Honest to God - These are my favorite moments. She’s so heavy...

Honest to God - These are my favorite moments.

She’s so heavy in my arms, she smells like sweaty baby, she’s warm, and her breath is heavenly.

I get teary eyed thinking about how I won’t be able to do this forever :(

Sometimes, Ashtyn goes to high school.

Sometimes, Ashtyn goes to high school.

Did the name "Cellar Door" come from the movie Donnie Darko, when the teacher says that those are the most beautiful words when combined? Just curious, I love that movie and your photography. :)

Yea it did! Thank you! Donnie Darko was the first movie Lindy and I ever watched together and it is one of my favorites.

I also love the story behind the word combination and all the scholarly debates it brought about.

Fatherhood is secretly eating a pint of your favorite flavored ice cream on the kitchen floor, in the dark, hidden from the watchful eyes of your child.

I have always wondered how exactly Lindy makes Ashtyn's headbands. Is there any easy way to describe it?

2 parts love
1 part devotion
And half a cup of creativity.

Hahahahaha. Ok, I’m lame.

She buys elastic, fake flowers, and jewels from the craft store. Mix a little hot glue in there and you got tumblr gold.

Ashtyn doesn’t like saying goodbye to mommy after lunch.

Ashtyn said she won’t nap until she has 20,000 notes.

If I wasn't directly on the opposite side of the country I'd be begging you to photograph some memorable part of my life. You are really talented, and seriously, even when you have a sick shitty kind of day, your family is gorgeous.

Honesty Moment

Mon, 20 May 2013 10:46:57 -0700

Today is one of those days I don’t feel like being a parent. I’m super exhausted and Ashtyn won’t cut me a break.

She’s been super clingy lately and we had a long weekend that we are recovering from.

Her new thing is being super clingy. And if you set her down to use the bathroom she tantrums to the point of vomiting.

I’ve been alone with her for the past 4 hours and I have 7 more hours to go.

I haven’t brushed my teeth and coffee has been my only meal of the day.

I know, I know. I’m lucky to have a healthy baby, etc. etc. Just let me bitch, I don’t do it often.

Blah. Just blahhhh.
