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

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.

Juice

We have about 20 kilograms of Narromine oranges to turn into juice. 

One day at a time.
