So rewind from last week’s photos of Seeley. I did manage to document a few snippets of his first month, but I must beg you to look at these images knowing the following – I was suffering from the bleary-eyed, zombie brained fog that comes with the regimen of no sleep and early nursing. I usually didn’t have an opportunity to photograph Thing 2 until Thing 1 was in bed which equals dark and grainy photos, but let’s call them “photojournalistic” and “emotional” and “inspired by 19th century realist painting” rather than dark and grainy.

Addison and I made a stop on the way to Grandma’s the other day and I managed to snap a few pictures of her. I love catching her in just her random moments. Taking in, enjoying and simply marveling at her imagination in action.

Pretty sure something is funny. Don’t you want to know what?

Here Addison is showing me how the fish swim away from the snapping crocodiles in the estuary. They are so fierce.

Pretty sure she’s thinking hard on those crocodiles and their wily ways again.



Til next time. . .

The theme was responsibility this week. I’ve decided that most if not all of the themed photos will be of my family during the week. One of my goals this year is to live more in the moment. That means enjoying my family everyday. Not always planning the next thing or thinking of things I should be doing. Living with an awareness (while looking for a photos to capture the theme) in what we do in the everyday has been fun so far. I am confidant that by the years end I will not only have 52 photos that capture our year, but also a solid habit of paying more attention to those most important to me.
RESPONSIBILITY
-Landon was under the weather this week and missed two days of school. Even though we didn’t get out of jammies and energy was definitely low, we still made sure to work on some homework so as not to get too far behind. Getting the homework done while sick wasn’t the true test of responsibility to me though, it was completing the task with a happy heart.

A few more for fun.
Landon’s partner in crime.


This was the other option on the table for me for the theme this week. The tides have turned and now Landon is the one helping Addison build her legos. He has taken on the role of helper. Love it. If you haven’t discovered the new line of girl legos called Friends, they are pretty much the best idea I’ve seen all year. I seriously cannot believe it the idea has been this long in coming.
