1/52

I have really enjoyed the 52 project last year and even though there was more than a few weeks in the middle of the year that I had skipped for various reasons, I am committed to doing every single week this year. I am excited about the memories that this will keep, about improving my photography skills (just got my first prime lens) and keeping up with the ridiculously talented community that has developed around this project. But really this project and keeping up with it is a part of a larger plan for this year, a plan to focus on things that matter, focus on my little ones while they are still little. They have grown way too fast and way too much. These days I can tell that each day might be my last day breastfeeding and that, together with the beginning of a new year, is making me think hard about how I spend the time I have with the kids. The goal is simply to be more present. So with that…a new 52 project begins. And right away I couldn't choose…

Reed and Siena doing what they love best.
Reed - pulling every single book of the shelves for no reason at all
Siena - singing yet another Edward Sharpe song

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

These I loved for the clarity and the eyes…oh, their eyes…early morning walk before the -40s arrive 

As always joining in with Jodi over at http://practisingsimplicity.blogspot.com, the old che and fidel (will miss that name- invoked all sorts of revolutionary imagery:)
