“A portrait of my children once a week, every week, in 2014.”
Lillia: The warm weather has really brought you out of your winter cocoon. You’ve been playing imagination games again outside with your best friend and zooming around the neighborhood on your scooter late into the evening. It’s really wonderful to watch you play. You also went on a forced, 3-mile long death march to the village with us on Sunday. You were pretty sure you weren’t going to make it but, thankfully, you did.
Zane: This week you talked to everyone. You saw some men working on the roof of a tall house and asked them if you could join them; you told the mailman all about the fit you were throwing because you couldn’t have the Tonka trucks that you saw on the side of the road (they belonged to someone else); you also talked to a very nice dog named Lila who had just taken a bath — she was cleaner than you! I can’t get over how extroverted you are.
There’s something about seeing photos of children reading that just fills me with joy x
Oh, I know EXACTLY what you mean…especially in the young years. It is all so fleeting. I feel so lucky that I have been able to capture them on film. I know I will look back at these images of them often when they are grown.
PS: Your blog is so lovely.
