“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” ethan: i realised this week that sometimes two 9 year old boys are better than one, especially when daddy is away. i love seeing you play with your mates like this; dirty, independent, loud, rough, but also fun, kind, sharing and relishing the camaraderie a like-minded friend brings. don’t grow up …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” nixon: you have never been so still in all of your short life. we survived your day at the hospital, your general anaesthetic, colonoscopy and biopsies just fine. you did at least, i was a ragged ball of stress after you screamed all night and we slept in until …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” nixon: truth be told, when i was pregnant we joked that there was surely no way we would get another strong-willed, fiery, know-it-all baby like ethan. well, you showed us. you are filled with so much sass and mischief i really do think i’ve met my match. i’m quite scared of …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” ethan & nixon: you are so lucky to have each other. everything is better for e now his brother is here, and though nix is not aware of it yet, he has the best mate a wee boy could ever ask for; patient, kind, fun, always up for …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” ethan: a stolen moment; i showed you how to use light from the windows to trace cartoons. you were intensely into this project for two days, printed many pics, traced them, coloured them all in, made a big mess of the windows and then you were done. that’s …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” nixon: excuse my messy desk {it always looks like this these days}. i couldn’t resist this picture of you, hard at work, printing documents and manifestos. all the toys a boy could want and your favourite spots in the house are under tables with wires, cables or your …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” ethan: we went hiking again on saturday. 509 killer stairs on the way to the waitakere dam and 509 on the way down. such a killer workout and you did it! your dad and i were so proud of you, it was the hardest hike you’ve ever done …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” nixon: just a couple of guys hanging out. daddy’s skateboards are amongst your favourite things to crash into the walls, to flip over and spin the wheels, licking them every now and then……. ethan: what a difference a week makes. things {hormones already?} have settled down, new strategies …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” nixon: as per usual, i had a tonne of beautiful pics of you this week but I couldn’t resist this one. i managed to snap your barry crump face just seconds before you spotted me with the big clicky black thing and erupted into one of your heart-melting smiles. just like …
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” ethan: you returned home from cub camp tired & grumpy & argumentative. we let this bother us & we all bickered instead of letting you decompress. you needed to be on your own, to relax, to be 9. the beach worked wonders, i’m sorry your dad & i …
