#ThrowbackThursday #tbt: Meet the Kid

May 29, 2014 By Lena

In 2014, I will be participating in #tbt courtesy of the Epson Expression Premium XP-810 Small–in–One printer, the ultimate choice for scanning and printing. Ultra powerful and ultra slim, it produces stunning borderless photos and documents quickly and affordably. Featuring the ultimate in wireless printing, the XP-810 makes it easier than ever to print from your iPad, iPhone, tablet or smartphone, whether in your home or out and about.

iwantmommyIt’s hard to believe that I blogged for a whole year without sharing a picture of Ryder with my blog readers.

Seriously! Y’all are probably used to seeing photos of my boys all the time, but back in 2008, I was a bit leery about giving readers access to my private life. So, I blogged about shopping, food and fashion – and while I mentioned my kid from time to time, I didn’t necessarily open up about my family of three.

So, this picture on Ryder’s first birthday is a PBD (pretty big deal), because it also marks the first time I shared with my audience a photo of my little offspring. Entitled “Everybody Hurts”, it portrayed a one-year-old in the throws of teething; gripping his cheek while his molars make their way to the surface.

Oh Ryder, how I miss your mean face! Jutting his bottom lip out as far as it would go, he would wrinkle up his nose and howl while the tears welled up in his eyes. Of course, he could turn it off just as quickly as he turned it on… the big faker!
