Grateful… for everything Pete has done while I have been recovering from an injury. He’s a very good dad to our girls. He made sure everything was taken care of… even brushing the girls hair…. which is not easy with our little Anouk because she is not a fan of the hair brush & is...
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...

Lisa I’ve just looked at all your photos from January and now I’m feeling very emotional! You are so amazingly talented in the way you capture moments but also in the way you describe those moments with words. I’m feeling exactly the same way this January – treasuring these last moments with my little man beside me every day. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and your journey. xx
PS. How is your back now? You poor Mummy! Praise God for great husbands/daddies eh. xx
Get well quickly Lisa. Fabulous pictures, your girls will enjoy these pictures and cuppa tea times when older for sure! I have kept up the Jan project too and will send you my copy soon as I love to share it with you. xJess
Thank you Sarah!! How can it be time for our first borns to start school already?!
I’m told this disc injury takes 3- 6 weeks to mend so I have to be patient. I am so grateful for a husband who just copes & cares for his family so well.
Hi Jess… I’m glad you kept up the project… I look forward to seeing your January collection! 🙂
