Relaxing on the deck

August 1, 2016 / davamarie

Kristin took all of the kids to her parents’ house overnight. I’m sure that should feel delightfully relaxing, but I miss them like crazy. So just because, here’s a picture of the twins relaxing on the deck yesterday.

Parenting and gender norms: part two

Northern Michigan Vacation: 2017

On expectations, potential, and the people we become

She woke up crying from an earache around 2:30 this morning, and after rocking her for a bit we both fell asleep on the couch. This time of year we get such pretty morning sun in that room, and while I wish she felt better I enjoyed watching the sun rise across her face. • • • • • #familyphotojournalism #familyphotography #canon6dmarkii #adayinthelife #pixel_kids #kidsforreal #littlepiecesofchildhood #candidchildhood #sleepingkids

I’m not in nearly enough pictures because I’m the photographer and at this stage my camera settings are too complicated for me to easily pass it off to anyone. But every once in awhile I really want to capture a moment and Kristin is gracious enough to do her best to make it happen. He was weepy and sore from a shot this afternoon and just needed to be rocked awhile. I can’t even think about them being too big to be held and rocked. I need it as much as they do, if not more. • • • • • #familyphotojournalism #familyphotography #canon6dmarkii #adayinthelife #pixel_kids #kidsforreal #littlepiecesofchildhood #candidchildhood #momgetsinthepicture

I love the way he sticks his tongue out when he’s focused on something

This was an unusually busy and social weekend for us, and while we generally prefer to have the balance tip towards more solo family time this was one of those weekends that felt like a love fest with our neighborhood: an afternoon drop-by on a scooter walk, a friend’s 40th celebration that kept us out far later than we’d planned, an ill-conceived morning play date (with impromptu ballet recital) at the home of other party-goers that was perfectly lovely despite the hangovers, and a basketball watch party that turned into our guest helping us clean up a flood in the basement. The daylight is stretching longer and spring is trying to work it’s way up through the frost, and I’m so looking forward to all that this summer will bring in this neighborhood we love.

Yoga attire is clearly in the eye of the beholder • • • • • #familyphotojournalism #familyphotography #canon6dmarkii #adayinthelife #pixel_kids #kidsforreal #littlepiecesofchildhood #candidchildhood #littleyogis #familyyoga

While he was laying on the ground on the bunny hill, only having made it a couple of yards at a time, he said, “I think I’m ready for the chairlift.” So we did it, because do something bonkers every day, right? I basically had to hold his body weight the entire way down the hill, but we made it without yelling or tears, and as we left for the day he said that it had been a great day. I’ll call that a win. ❤️

So proud of this boy. He’s pretty wiped out after his first ever lesson, but we’re refueling with chocolate pudding and a pretzel with cheese.
