 “a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014”

liam // As you get older, your creations mature with you, becoming more about possibility and application than simply for pretend play. This week you asked me what I thought you might do when you grow up, and although I’m not sure, that something is sure to be good.

burke // Striking a pose, “Hey mom! Fire-pow-uh! Boom.” You told me this week you want to learn the piano, a gift to me this particular week.

blythe // You literally collapse your body onto whatever furniture (or person) is near you when you’re tired. You (and your siblings) also colored your face for pretend play. The traces of “paint” remained long after the game ended.

olive // You like to surprise the camera, subtly jumping or changing expressions before you hear a snap. You treat life as a game, always interacting in playful, energetic ways.
