THESE DAYS

Camouflage for my feet - the first time Everly saw them she said 'Oooh' and leant down to stroke them /

The only way I can get a photo with my camera shy girl - let her play with straws! / 

Experimenting with no hands / 

Sprouting rocket / 

Sage / 

Pottering about in the garden / 

Helping Daddy pot succulents / 

Watering / 

Always that concentrating face, in our overgrown jungle of a backyard

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, for 2013. 

You are always so excited to help us with whatever we are doing. Today, you observed closely as Daddy filled the pot with soil and planted the succulent shoots, then as he left to fill the watering can you gathered the fallen leaves and pushed them one by one carefully into the soil, gently patting down the dirt with your fingertips and giggling with delight.
