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

 Sofia  -  Her first day as a two year old, digging for dinosaur bones with Papa.
Alba  -  Nestled up close in her favorite spot, still sleeping with her mouth wide open.

Over the weekend, Sofia celebrated her second birthday and Erick and I both shared a few tears of joy, pride and sadness for how quickly it has flown by.  I can't quite formulate words yet, for how much this little girl of ours means to us - the one who started it all.

    Beautiful. Love both of these shots. Words always fail me when I try to articulate how much my boys mean to me. Sometimes I have to write about it, photograph it...even then I am not sure if they know how much they make up my soul.

    love these photos and happiest of birthday wishes to Sofia.xo

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once.
