 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013"

Ellie:  First day of school. Our brave, determined, head-strong girl flew the coup to spread her wings and beauty in a new realm. My heart tugged as a realised that someone else would watch you through your days as you discover this exciting new world.

Luca: The fair has been in his mind all year. He couldn't wait to get on the rides. First the ferris wheel. A gentle ride with his sister. He ended the evening with exhilarating water roller coaster. He can't wait until next year.

Ellie: Always dancing. The beach offers such space and freedom for her creative expression.

Luca:  This board walk keeps him interested every time we visit. A feast for his senses as he absorbs the smallest details around him

Ellie:  I give my heart to you Muma

Luca:  A pensive moment enjoying the delights of the harbour
Ellie:  Our new kitten smothered in love by its little Mama

This year will bring many changes to our little family. Ellie is off to school and Tools and I return to full time work. My time at home with my littlies has been a gift. I have taken thousands of photos of our days together, enough to fill hundreds of albums. I know that come February we will hit the ground running and won't stop until Easter. 
52 weeks is my attempt to slow down and document these new days together.
