Pictures for Daddy

This great family session was too adorable not to share. Amanda and her daughters wanted to do something sweet for dad, who's working in another province. We ran around the orchards being silly and captured some nice moments to make him smile when he's missing his best girls.

Sharing a Room

I may be crazy...

I have this wild notion that my kids need to learn to appreciate, tolerate and communicate with one another. We decided that our little ones will share a room (when Harriette moves out of ours that is...).  I have no doubt my kids love each other, but I think it's a wonderful opportunity to learn a great deal about managing relationships. Kids who share a bedroom space are given an opportunity to practice so many skills and virtues, and I think they'll be closer and better for it. We'll see how it goes.

Here's the "everyday" photoshoot we had on a sunny afternoon, playing in the KIDS room.

Jack made me a mummy

These are somewhat dated favourites of my beautiful boy. I share these because they capture my Jack exactly the way I wanted to. The wild curl falling towards his big blue eyes, a tiny bit of toddler chubbiness and his sweetness. Sweet like candy, this boy... 

Just 6 months later he is all arms and legs, lean and fast. His baby fat is gone and he uses a potty. It all happens so quickly. You can never have too many photos.

dainty girl

 

My daughter, Harriette. Happy, sweet and chubby. In love with her big brother and papa. A tiny ray of sticky sunshine. She's just starting eating solids. It's my favourite show right now. I've called her dainty girl since she was tiny because she has these little precious feet and graceful ways despite her roundness. I'm so gaga for this girl.
