PHOTO SHARE | DOWN & UP as well as 20/52

Playing a little catch up...

DOWN

UP

and catching up on my weekly pictures...

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014"

I can't believe time is flying as quickly as it is.  The weeks are feeling like days.  I committed to both the weekly themed Photo Share project as well as the 52 project of my kids and although I may be late in posting...I'm still getting the pictures taken.  Hard to believe the half way mark is here.  Anyway...

Lou:  Em and I don't get to spend a lot of time together, just the two of us.  The plan was to wait for Bailey to wake up and put the slide on the hill but I couldn't resist some one-on-one with my sweet Emmy.  She got this slide for her 5th birthday a few weeks ago...yup, she's 5!!!  She's been so anxious to use it.  I love spending time, just us two, with each of my girls and soaking in their darling personalities.

Sue:  Sara is 11 months and climbing up on everything, and seems to have no fear or reservations about it either.  She always get a big grin and squeals a little when she climbs up on something, like she's queen of the castle.

Boo:  Each year we try and visit as many headstones of loved ones as we can on Memorial Day.  I remember visiting this cemetery with my grandma and mom when I was young.  Now my girls (and mom, dad, and sisters) visit my grandparents here each year.  It amazes me how easily the tears still come when I think about my angel grandma who has been gone nearly 8 years now.  I wish all the time she could have been around to meet my girls, but I know that although they may not be able to spend time on Earth together, they have all danced and laughed together in Heaven.  After Bailey placed the flowers on the headstone, she & Emmy reminded us all that they were for "Grandma Bernice."
