52/52



52/52

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

That's it! That's a wrap. I cannot even BELIEVE that I made it a whole year. Obviously, I'm a little behind, but I am still so incredibly happy to be standing here at the proverbial end of the 52 Project and looking back at the memories made this past year. How incredible. We're all incredible. I have to thank Jodi for being such an amazing inspiration and host, that woman is a true talent. She brought about such a wonderful community of moms and dads, and even though I haven't been commenting much, I've been browsing around everyone's photos and am continually blown away. This photo-documenting business is no easy feat, and this project has taught me, shaped me, in more ways that I can even articulate at the moment. I've thought long and hard about this, and I will be continuing in 2014 in a brand new space with an even loftier goal~~~

I hope you'll join me.

(I'm just a tad bit terrified!)

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. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
