 “A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Marie: such a big girl now…and the most polite toddler I know, saying “thank you” all the time.

I’ll be honest, keeping up with this weekly project is a challenge, especially with twin toddlers. I’ve realized that my goal of photographing them both, (together), is too ambitious, especially considering how many shots it takes to get just one good one.  So this week, it’s just Marie. This photo was a happy accident–her beauty (inside and out) continues to amaze me.

 “A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”

This weekend was dedicated to the kids, and since spring was trying to show her face we headed to the park. They were both giddy to be there, and Henry has developed a slide obsession…it provided much entertainment for all who were there to witness it. Their joy is contagious–isn’t it the best feeling as a parent when your children are so happy?! My mommy guilt is still very present (I missed 10/52), but thanks to FaceTime I felt close to them while I was gone…they knew I was ok and was missing them greatly (and mr. fleurishing is a rockstar). It feels so good to be back home, where my heart is.

Amidst all of the technology in our lives, we’ve managed to foster book lovers. I am quite proud of that fact, especially as the daughter of a librarian. Marie + Henry’s collection continues to grow, with books slowly overtaking every room. This little reading nook is a nice escape throughout the day, and a cozy spot for bedtime stories. I thought I would share their current favorites with you…ranging from classics to current bestsellers. While board books are safest in the hands of toddlers, we’ve taught them to handle books delicately and treat them with respect…and to our delight, despite a few accidents (and one rage-induced mishap), the “grown-up” books remain intact! What are your kids favorites?
