“A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2013”

Today was the highlight of our week. Saturdays always are. There’s the farmers market with tamales and pastries for breakfast in the morning, followed by swimming. Then the rest of the day is wide open. Nestled between naps comes errands and time well spent with the people I love the most.

Tonight we had a picnic in the park and she went in a swing for the very first time. She was a bit unsure at first, but once papa jumped on a swing close by she was sold. I love this girl. I can’t say it enough or in the right way to ever truly express how much. If you would have told me two years ago I would live to see my child smile I would have laughed at you. She is simply amazing.

Last week I quite liked this photograph. And this one(again, I know it’s becoming a theme. She really is a lovely photographer). It’s also possible I am drawn to photos of babes and their dads. There’s something especially sweet about it.
