“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 wrestling and getting dirty. you two are going to catch many eels together i can feel it.

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 and we knew you wanted to quit but you kept going xx
nixon: oh nixon. how strange, your happy place is in the water just like your brother. just out of shot is your dad, you crashed his shower and now beeline for the bathroom any time you hear the water running. getting undressed? ain’t no-body got time for that.

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 didn’t give you enough space yesterday, we will try harder xx
nixon: those eyelashes. a hard week. up for hours at night, nose and eyes running but always in the best of moods, you are the sweetest baby {in a non-huggy, non-snuggly kind of way}. your big brother adores you and instantly forgets his complaints/attitude/frustrations when he holds you. he is holding you a lot lately now that i think about it!
