A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013
{inspired by Jodi}

{Harper} Windy evening by the Lake. Canberra may not have the natural beauty of beaches but our man-made lake can look pretty.

{Finn} Enjoying some one on one time with my big guy. Getting a natural smile was the cherry on top.

The B-sides (because two photos seems a little minimalist for me…)

{style and spunk}

{a few minutes before we left for a playdate with friends finn drew me a map so I would know how to get there.}

{on a friend's suggestion we visited the National Film & Sound Archive. I had never really thought of it as a place to take the kids but I am so glad we checked it out. we were the only people at the fractured heart installation, an interactive sculpture based on Gotye's 'Somebody that I used to know'. It was sensational.}

{.......afterwards I promised Harper that I would show her the filmclip which the sculptured is based on. that afternoon she contributed heavily to the video's youtube views....}

{sharing a milkshake. deciding on which flavour they would have took longer than actually drinking it}

{making strawberry jelly for Friday special treat night. this is Finn's well-used "not another photo mum" face}}

{seeing glimpses of his baby looks}

{laughing at Daddy's 'dad jokes'}

{waiting for Peppa Pig to arrive on stage at the Australia Day Commonwealth Park concert. pure anticipation}

{watching Peppa Pig. quiet, still and stunned}

{distracted by the fly over by the Royal Australian Air Force. the furrowed brow indicates she wasn't impressed with the interruption}
