These images from the past three days of my ‘photo a day’ project really tell the story of what is happening in my world right now. The joyful days of play, the step by step preparing for school, the ever growing bond between sisters. Every day they are growing closer & closer. They have moments...
The trampoline was a gift from their Gran & Grandpa for Christmas. They are on it every day. At first Anouk wouldn’t get on while Ava was on it, because she got bounced around too much. After a week she decided it was too hard to wait until Ava had finished her turn, so she quickly...
January 10th – we went out walking. Ava took her stroller with two dolls, one pony & a teddy for the dolls. I took Anouk in the stroller because she was about to fall asleep. Anouk hopped out of the stroller every time she saw a rock she liked. Eventually she napped. We...
Anouk. For the last two days she hasn’t had a day time sleep. She keeps telling me she’s not tired. When I took this photo yesterday she held up two fingers & announced “I am two mum” & then she yawned the yawn that gives away the fact that two year olds still need to have naps… even if...
Taking a picture of my children each day this month means that as I watch my day unfold, I am looking to find the very thing that day, that will write part of their story. The story of January 2012. I am not taking photo’s all day long & then choosing a picture at the...
I love that at any time of the day, she paints. She paints with the very same brushes I was painting with when my waters broke with her in my belly. I still haven’t finished that painting. I’ve been a little distracted for the 5 years that have followed that labour. I’ll paint again…. but...
1st January 2012… 1st January 2011… I love that with one picture I can see the things that have changed over a year & the things that have remained the same. Ava went from 4 to 5. Anouk went from 1.5 to 2.5. In that year I have seen Ava grow to the point where...

Precious moments gone all to quickly. Enjoy every moment 🙂
OHhhh Lisa, how gorgeous your girls are…I love the school holidays too when us mums get to enjoy time with our children without a schedule and busy routine. I love your comment, ” My days with them have been the investment of my life.” So profound and true!The richest reward is our children and their joy. Have a wonderful next two weeks with your precious daughters. xJess
Just lovely. Take comfort in the fact that you may still be able to relax in the mornings before school – the local public school starts really really late!
Love the way you treasure your little girls so much.
Yes that is true Michelle. We will have mornings & aftrenoons… and weekends 🙂
