"a portrait of my daughter every week, once a week, in 2013."

she's had two hometowns since she was born; one by the sea and one in the country. and while she takes on the ocean as if it were a part of her and treats sand like it runs through her veins, the country will have such a lasting effect on her. the quiet and the wildflowers and the grass that comes to her knees is a part of her now. i have no idea where she'll end up in this world, but i love knowing that wherever it is, she'll have a bit of this with her.

"a portrait of my daughter every week, once a week, in 2013."

my sweet adventure child, insisting on following paths on her own, stopping to study every rock she sees, 

and doing her best to catch the wind in her hands.

the great catch-up

hi friends!

this month has been madness. it's the good kind of madness, full of celebrations, our jobs, good friends, good travels, and family- but madness, nevertheless.

and the business of the month and the month before that certainly reflects here, and i have so many days i want to share and catch up on. after nearly two weeks of being away from home for work and then heading straight from there to southern california for a week, we are home and doing constant happy dances over the fact that this week is absolutely, positively without any plans at all.

and in hopes that i don't end up having two months of photos to post all at once, i'll be squeezing in a few posts tonight to get a bit up to date, and integrating the 52 project with longer posts. i hope you have all been enjoying your spring, and if you're in northern california, the NINETY-degree weather we've been having. dear lord, spring. settle down just a bit.
