The strawbaby is all smiles for a play date today. 🍓 👧🏼

Got my second “response requested” on a #SCOTX petition for review in as many weeks! #IYKYK #AppellateSky

Funny bunny

Fridays are for #teenylaw clerking with mom.

She looks like she’s about to do a one-act play about her childhood. 😂 🎭

Our little lucky charm of a #teenylaw clerk helped us out with our probate hearings today! Thanks to our clients and Judge Parrish for working with us and letting us be a truly West Texas family-owned law firm!

Learning real estate stuff. #teenylaw

I had to talk to a customer service rep last week at Chewy for an order issue and mentioned Becca when we talked. This showed up in the mail yesterday. They are truly the best!! 👶🏼💚🐶

Thanks to Judge Les Hatch for coming to speak to my Business Law class yesterday! You have the best stories! #teenylaw #teenyprof

Got a chance to speak to the Lubbock Area Bar Association today. Becca even got to tag along for a few minutes. Then came home to finish an #AppellateSky brief which I got filed approximately 33 minutes early. 😅 #teenylaw

A tiring day. Got dressed up to go with Mom to speak at the Lubbock Area Bar Association luncheon. She did a good job! Now it is time to nap trap her in my favorite chair. #teenylaw

Happy Sunday!

Introducing the baby to #AllCreaturesGreatandSmall tonight. She likes the accents and all of the animals, I think. 🐴 🐶 🐮

Happy March!! 👶🏼💚🍀

Had a client feed my brief into ChatGPT today and have it tell him we had a high likelihood of success based on my arguments so, yay? I guess? #teenylaw

I’m really proud of this one. #teenylaw for the win! #appellatesky

In the last 47 hours I have finished drafting and filed two #SCOTX petitions for review and won an appeal for my client in another case. A fun week but I’m beat. #teenylaw #appellatesky

First LaFreniere girls’ night out for Becca! She loves her aunties and grandma!!

Copper has become so protective of Becca. Today she bumped her head and was really crying and he brought a toy to her. He lays next to her when she’s napping and barks anytime a stranger, even a friend in the house, tries to touch her. It’s so 🥰

Sure, guy. I believe you. 🙄

So serious. What is she thinking? 🧐

The car David and I really want right now. 2025 Toyota GR86 Hakone Edition in green and bronze. 😍💚

Daddy is teaching me to cook. 👩🏼‍🍳👶🏼🍳

Doing the taxes is hard work.

Having what I call my favorite #BoxcarChildren dinner. Just missing the berries! 🍞 🧀 🥛

Me: reading the clerk’s record in an appeal. “Wow. This motion for new trial is really well-written. It’s going to make my brief a lot easier.” Also me: gets to the bottom of the motion to the signature line. Oh. I wrote this. I forgot I’d been brought in as app. counsel that early 😂 #AppellateSky

Little Miss joined me in my Business Law class today! She learned all about adequate consideration in contracts! #teenyprof #teenyscholar #futureChap #teenylaw

She is OUT 😴👶🏼

Nap trapped. 😴🥰

If you have a case of the Mondays May I suggest a smiley baby?

If you lose us, you can find us by looking for the plaid flannel shirt in the room. It’s probably a LaFreniere. 😍🤠

Did I just buy Les Misérables for babies at the Friends of the Library Lubbock? Yes, yes I did. 😂🧵

Baby’s first in-person BBQ today! (We had their turkey for Thanksgiving when she was a week old but this is our first chance to get in for a full meal!)

Corporate Transparency Act in 2024–25, a chronology: Congress: ✅ (until Dec 2024) Dist judge 🚫 (Dec 3) 5th Cir motions panel ✅ (Dec 23) 5th Cir merits panel 🚫 (Dec 26) #SCOTUS ✅ (today, Jan 23) tl;dr if you haven’t done your CTA/BOI because it was paused, you have to again

Please enjoy my cute jammies. They’re making mom hungry for dessert. 🍨

Mid-week documentary watch with mom and puppy. #badsurgeon

The Vivint guy who just rang the doorbell despite the “please do not—baby sleeping” sign and woke my child that was finally asleep after crying and not sleeping for nearly 8 hours is invited to jump right off a cliff. 😭😭

At what point do babies start internalizing language because Becca is listening to @badlawyerpod.bsky.social with me right now and I will eventually need to jump ahead of the language she’ll be learning if I keep this up. 😂

👶🏼📸 Is this thing on? Henlo from tummy time!

Days like this are for reading and relaxation. 📖 ❄️

Warm dinner to go with the snow tonight! ⛄️🌨️❄️ 🍜 #Lubbock

Won a big appeal this morning against the Great State of Texas in the new 15th COA! #teenylaw feeling good today! #AppellateSky P.S. @ryanclinton.bsky.social it was that dog case ❤️

My MrSnuffleupagus pal finally got here and I’m in love! 🥰🐘 👶🏼

Was away from Becca for 6 hours today. Longest time yet. But I mediated and settled a contentious #teenylaw probate case, so at least it was for a good reason! Glad to be home and snuggling her again though.

Hardworking #teenylaw clerk today. First quick in-person client meeting of the year and they were very gracious to let Becca observe. ❤️👶🏼
