Each month, I take photos of my family, and each individual member. I do this for selfish reasons - because no photos exist from my childhood, because I'm getting old and forgetful, because I love having the images. I also hope that when they're grown up, these memories will serve as a sort of time capsule, a reminder that they lived a life every day that was worth photographing. It's a messy-hair-no-one-is-looking-at-the-camera reminder of a life lived every day.
We are counting down to a camping adventure in the not too distant future
[We are all tired and in need of a change of scene]
We are all enjoying the time spent outside
[even when there's arguments over who's turn it is to scoop]
He is changing rosters again this week
[back to days for a short while]
He is enjoying his morning walks with the dog
[even if she does confuse 3am for 5am]
She is already making Christmas plans
[only 144 sleeps]
She is eager to finish sewing a quilt
[only 2 blocks and the binding to do]
He is trying hard to complete homework each week
[there's a fish tank in it for him, if he keeps it up all term]
He walks the dog each evening
[and scores a few pokemon on the way]
She wants to learn to cook more evening meals
[or bake cakes and slices, anything that gets her in the kitchen]
She hates watching "boys shows" on tv
[and is happiest in the evening with a movie or book in her room]
He needs to practise his handwriting for school
[but hates the repetition of writing the same thing over and over]
He still loves to watch Minecraft videos on YouTube
[and dreams of having parents who understand what he's talking about]
She has finally learnt to be gentle with Daisy
[but still loves on her a little bit too hard]
She talks about her friends at daycare endlessly
[but still has a bit of separation anxiety in the mornings]

Wow, those kids are certainly growing up! I do think these posts will be such a treasure trove of memories!
