52

 I have not been organised to join in with 52 portraits this year.  Actually I am struggling to pull out my camera most weeks.  I really need to do something about that and snap a few more photos of these two.

 This adorable picture was taken of them a few weeks ago in knits* that I knitted for a friend.  they are growing up before our very eyes.

For more adorable portraits, pop over and say hi at Practising Simplicity

* I'll blog about the knits soon

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week."

Amelia: We have hit the 8 year old hormone surge.There have been so many tears over the last two weeks.  Quietly I hope that my beautiful little girl is still in there somewhere.  I'm finding this stage of parenting hard.  Any tips?
Baden: A boy of wonder.  planning his next move in this world.


I have lost count of where I should be up to with taking photos of my two.  I really need to remember to pull out the DSLR more often.

Amelia ran in the school cross country and came in 4th for her age group.  She was thrilled and really pleased with her efforts.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Amelia: The new smile. She is a little self conscious about her missing snappers
Baden: From binoculars to a magnifying glass.  This little man is loving anything about animals at the moment.

A portrait of my little family to start the year off. 
It is not very often that we get a photo of all of us together and with no family around to take happy snaps of us I am often the one behind the lense.  We have not had a family photo taken for some time, so this week I took the camera, tripod and remote and got a few snaps.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week."

Amelia:  Reading her book infront of assembly. Watching her grow and develop this year has been amazing.  She has come such a long way this year. 

Baden: Performing in his end of year Kinder concert

Inspired by Che and Fidel with a portrait a week.  I'm looking forward to next year.

 "A Portrait of my children once a week"

 Amelia: Sound asleep in our bed one night this week after not being able to fall asleep with her brother and his snoring
Baden: A lunchtime nap. We are off to the ENT next week to find out about his snoring. Four year olds shouldn't snore (nor should babies - who knew)

I came across a new to me weekly blog post a few weeks ago.  A portrait of your child/ren once a week, every week for a year.  By the end you have 52 photos of your little ones to look back on and cherish.

I've decided to join in on the fun.  I have not nearly taken enough photos of my little ones this year and as they growing at lightning speed I really should capture them more.

Amelia:  A quick snap taken before school.  You were meant to be brushing your hair, instead I find you playing with your little gnome fairies.  

Baden: On the run in the backyard, enjoying the first few days of daylight savings.
