The face of our home and our activity changes so rapidly that I only notice how fast my children’s childhood is passing by as I see it through photos. My youngest girls in real beds, Rowan moving up another clothing size, the newness of reading beginning with some, and so on.
As much as I want to wish away certain stages in certain daughter’s lives, they inevitably pass and I am left wondering where the time went. Right now each of my daughters is growing up but with different capacities and directions in a sense.
And then there is my baby who just grows along side the activity, trips, and mealtimes, waiting for the quiet solitude nighttime brings when he has me all to himself. And those moments are more blissful than I ever imagined motherhood could provide.
Who would have thought that walls of wood and drywall and siding could protect something so intangible.

Lovely! I have a question for you… How do you manage getting so many pictures throughout the day? I find my hands are always sticky or greasy or wet from washing or cleaning and I don’t dare get out my camera! But I love all the candid shots of your home! I’d love to know!
Good question–
My camera is always out (next to my computer in the living room) and on (to import wirelessly). So whenever there is something I want to shoot, I can easily grab my camera. The girls are quite used to seeing my with my camera.
I am guessing you use an eye-fi card? Matt is trying to convince me to get one.
Love you!
You would LOVE eye-fi. As soon as I sit down to the computer all of my photos are there from the day.
It is amazing to see how quickly children grow… I am use to having the camera ll the time with me as well…
love this post!! and great pictures. by the way, i just saw the above comments – what’s an eye-fi card?
ah! eye fi is a card you use in your camera that lets your computer wirelessly import your photos. it is awesome! you should look into it. it saves lots of time!
