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

Liberty: sway back off the back porch.

Pip: balancing act

Henri: "yeyyo flown", says this little chap.

Lily: solemn and sweet. I love that she still want to wear flowery dresses.

Harvest: how kind he is to pose for me.

Linen: making a rope swing.

I love how quickly spring washes away the musky, winter air by simply opening the windows. Needless to say, our days are full of outdoor musing and wanderlust over all that is budding. I've been garden planning. Dreaming of all the wonderful work and harvest the family can gather around.

Henri: Tout Ensemble (all together now)! We sing, "Free Range Hen"!

Liberty: This girl! I am in love. The hole in the knee, upon arrival of Easter Brunch, says it all. My darling, best friend from high school, Rebekka, posted of my sweet Pearl this week. I believe she described her delightfully well. A treasured work. Someone asked, Liberty's dress is Flora and Henri, a hand-me-down from her sisters of course.

Liberty: I posed this one, of course. Thought you should all know where I wander to on my walks. This apartment complex is the closest thing I have to a little piece of Paris. The gnomes to the left, are my little watchmen.

 

Lily: We gals love to bash about imagining what we will, talking nonsense and serious, finding what we will. Today, it was a giant brick wall containing this princess and her dreams of conquering the land beyond. The pearls that lace her throat, a gift from her noble and loving Father .

 

Linen: Our favorite vintage shop is opening up a new location down the way from our house! Bliss! This knit head wrap is identical to the one found in We Like Kindergarten. If you didn't know that I was completely in love with Eloise Wilkin's books & illustrations, now you know.

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

Lily: my rapidly growing sunshine.

Harvest: Captain Potbelly.

Henri: little dude rides the sea turtle.

Linen: my heart is so tender towards this spring bud.

Pip: incredibly fixated on this mural. He could barely catch his breath.

Liberty: thankfully this ankle injury was but a sprain. Poor thing, she's been limping around all week :(

Linen: This girl! Her daily growth is ever before me.

 

Henri: describes his precious car. I haven't even words for my love for this baby boy.

 

Liberty: made up castles with plots on this beach volleyball court. Her imagination is an incomparable gift.

 

Lily: her perspective is like of that as a bird.

 

Pip: hard at work on the strings of his new sneakers.

 

Harvest: happy to share his toothless grin.

 Liberty: a typical moment. Despite the snow flurries & coat left at home, my darling must have a turn on the rope swing at our local milk farm.

 

Henri: entranced by the embers.

 

Lily: warms herself in the sun.

 

Linen: plays on the rug with Hen. This simple game of him using her as a human trampoline, sends us into fits of laughter!

 

Harvest: Can we say ... yet another goofy side. :)

 

Pip: loves to smile for me :)

Pip: spends the afternoon a soldier off to battle.

Lily: faithfully giving herself to whatever it takes to be in the Chattanooga Symphony.

Harvey: give it up for a true snaggletooth!

Linen: knocks out her 4th grade homework so she can get to her long list of projects.

Liberty: nibbles on an after school snack of rice crackers and Vegemite.

Henri: crankypants just woke up from a long nap.
