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

Sofia: Taking advantage of the soft, winter sunlight... and unfortunately not feeling too great today. 

Here we are friends, the first week out of many more to come with Project 52.  I've been looking forward to joining in ever since Jodi started hers last year, so if you haven't had the chance to pop on over there yet, lots of inspirational people are all taking this journey together -- it's the perfect way to find a new favorite blog!

    Sofia is just the cutest, so sorry shes not feeling too well today, hope she starts feeling better soon! xo

    I am so excited to see more from this series from you, I think I am going to join in and do it too! Seems like such a great way to capture those sweet moments you never want to forget and a great way to see how much your child has grown over a years time!

    such a lovely idea - I'm a couple of days behind the curve, but between Josie@little-sleep and Fritha, I'm totally inspired to join in.

    And this sweet girl!
    - I'm really looking forward to following along with the littles' growth over the year.

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible.  I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa.  Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit.  I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure.   Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ?  It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013." SOFIA:  You are my goofy child, my prankster.  You are the spitting image of your Papa, though every now and again I find some piece of myself in you and it makes me pause.  You are my lover, and you are my fighter.  You greet me in the morning with sweet, breathy kisses that only the mouth of a little girl can give.  I hope you will look back on this blog and find strength when you're feeling kicked-down, confidence when you're doubting your abilities, and daily reminders of how much love we have for you, for our home, for our marriage, for this little life we've made.  I am thankful for every day I get to be your mum, and you are certainly becoming the most beautiful soul I could have hoped to raise. This photo was a stand-out favorite, but you can find more from our day  here . TAKING PART IN THE 52 PORTRAIT SERIES  |  STARTED BY: CHE AND FIDEL
