Behind again, whatevs. At least the pictures are being taken. Uploading is just such a task these days. :: wipes brow in anguish :: a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013 Jemma / / / Apparently someone watches mama put her sunnies on her head. Max / / / Hangin’ […]

Happy Birthday, Max!

I can’t write much more than, “Happy Birthday”, lest I collapse into a pile of mama tears. This havin’ kids thing makes me so sentimental!
