“a portrait of my children once a week in 2014”
liam // you’re always imagining and building something new. You inspire others with vision.
burke // you love most everything written by Roald Dahl. I love to hear your deep, guttural laugh as you retell your favorite parts.
blythe // your face smashed into a pole on the park slide earlier this week while you were running. The skin just beneath your right eye immediately became broken and swollen. Days afterward, I decided to take a picture. This is your “I’m-not-happy-you’re-taking-a-picture-of-me-with-a-busted-eye” look. You held it for about 3 seconds before you burst out laughing.
olive // you learned how to mix primary colors to create secondary colors this week. Here you’re painting two mice dancing in paint, inspired by one of your favorite books, Mouse Paint.

So sweet, especially love the one of Burke this week. My husband likes to joke that when our daughter (3 1/2) is old enough to read to herself, she might not ever talk to us again. While I hope she still wants to be friends with mama when she gets as big as Burke, I really adore her fondness for the written word and hope it continues.
It will! You’ll see. Occasionally I have found myself saying to one of the boys, “Put the book down and go play!” My husband and I laugh at how absurd that sounds. Both are important in their own ways. I love having readers though. Thanks for sharing, Sarah. x
The BFG is one of my absolute favorites. Love that portrait of Blythe- she’s a stunner.
I know! This read suits him so. And thank you, sweet lady. x
Looove that picture of Blythe!
Thank you so much, Tina! So do I, black eye and all. ;)
