Harvest: "That was a bad idea", he says once the morphine settled in. 

My buddy is broken, but mending now. A clean break to the wrist yesterday. After taking a daring jump from a picnic table to a pole on Monday morning, this little dude has had all the royal treatment a 7 1/2 yr old could dream up. Ice cream, endless time on the IPad, & choice movies. 

My favorite quote from the last 24 hours? Waking from the sedative - 

Me: Harv, do you know where you are?

Harvey: I'm all over the place.

Henri: loads of character piling up by the minute with this one. Loves to ignore my "walk!" & "slow down!" pleas while we round up the crew from summer evening swims.

Liberty: last day at the beach. After a much needed vacation, this darling said a blissful goodbye to the coastal vegetation, salty air & rich natural history of Edisto, South Carolina.

Pip: finds ease in his debut role as Micheal. He really is quite a delight on the stage. 

The children on our block, altogether 14, put together Peter Pan & Wendy the musical, in a weekend. The performance in our backyard kept the audience of 20 or so on the edge of our seats. Between Captain Hook's hook slipping off in mid line, our potty training 2 year old's decision to urinate from the crow's nest of the play fort during the flight to Neverland musical number & the wine flow amongst the adults, we were all stitches by the time end. 

Summer presents an endless supply of time for the imagination to create & wonder. I love the pleasure on Pip's face above. He certainly found his place this glorious day.

Liberty: found solace in a favorite film character doll. (no intentional color coordination) ;) 

Hot summer afternoon here, folks. We made a 4 hour coffee shop stop. Cooper record. UNO. Honey Citrus Cakes. 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle. Cold-drip Coffee. Ahhh. Of course, with only the 3 oldest with us, along with friends stopping by, the time flew. What did you do this weekend? Share please!

Linen: wearing Papa's scooter goggles. This girl is a lover. She nurtures, protects & cares for her brothers, sisters & friends. 

My! I am smitten by this wonder! She bares the heart of an angel, this dearling.  

Can you believe we are almost halfway through this year?!! I love this 52 portrait project, for how it's brought me closer to a feeling of capturing my children in ways I most likely would have never remembered.

Harvey: just loves not having a schedule breathing down his neck. This is his famous summer morning pose.
