Who We Become (hiatus 6)
We have been working on a new plan for a new year for Who We Become in 2015, but they aren’t ready just yet. In the meanwhile, however, we’ve been missing our weekly posts, so we are back to posting weekly images. My image is a little different from my norm, but I dig it and I hope you do too. This was taken on Friday at Gas Works Park. The sky was doing some crazy things, which were reflected in the water, and I decided to play with double-exposures again.

This week’s Let Them Be Little is up! My image was taken the other night at a local pizza restaurant. Avery loves to sit at the bar and watch them make and cook the pizza in the wood burning stove. Please click HERE to visit Let Them Be Little and see all the littles this week.
Who We Become (hiatus 5)
We have been working on a new plan for a new year for Who We Become in 2015, but they aren’t ready just yet. In the meanwhile, however, we’ve been missing our weekly posts, so we are back to posting weekly images. This week’s image was taken last night at Seattle Center. I went out shooting with two local photographers whom I’ve been lucky to get to know – Davina and Lexie (click on their names to see their work!). It’s so nice to have friends who think it is perfectly reasonable to wander around at night carrying a giant tripod, or to stop and lie down on the ground here and there to get the shot – and even better when you have such fun chatting at dinner with them that the shooting is just a bonus!

Letters to Our Daughters (22)
I have been participating in a blog circle with some wonderful photographers who are also mothers of girls. Each month, we write a letter to our daughters to preserve thoughts and memories of this time in our lives. I treasure being able to do this for my girls and I love the chance to see the messages that my friends leave for their own daughters. Once you have read my letter, please follow continue on to see what my friend Jennifer Vititoe wrote to her daughters by clicking HERE.
Dear Avery and Alexa,
Last week, we went to a Superhero Dance Party . And it was the perfect activity, because lately you have been my little heroes. We just returned from a trip to the east coast, where we had a wonderful time visiting with family and friends. You were fantastic travelers, even when Alexa got a miserable cold. You were easy-going and flexible, you had good manners, and you are so awesome on airplanes that I will travel with you anywhere, anytime.
When it was time to return to Seattle, Avery you were not happy at all to leave. You were having so much fun with family and you wanted to stay. I tried to entice you with thoughts of Christmas. I asked what you wanted to do when we got back, thinking you’d talk about seeing Santa or decorating or even going right for presents. Instead, you looked at me and said, “Maybe we could buy some toys for kids who don’t have any?”
My mama heart just about burst.
That isn’t to say that you both haven’t been excited about the many Christmas celebrations that we are having, or that you haven’t spent plenty of time telling me what you would like to get from Santa. And actually you have been pretty clear that you don’t care if Santa brings it or we buy it, so long as you get it. Ha! But all in all, it’s clear that you love everything about the holiday season and you are making it all so fun. You are thrilled each morning to wake up and see where our elf, Rainbow Chippie, is hanging out. (You can see her below roasting marshmallows with some of your dolls in the photo below). You can’t wait to open the next day’s lego in your advent calendar from Grandma Rheta. And you are excited about the idea of giving gifts as well as getting them.
I am grateful for you guys, my little Superheroes. You make everything and everywhere a good time – especially a bar, in the middle of the afternoon, filled with bubbles – and you remind me of what is important.
Merry Christmas, my little loves!
love,
Mama

Who We Become (hiatus 4)
We have been working on a new plan for a new year for Who We Become in 2015, but they aren’t ready just yet. In the meanwhile, however, we’ve been missing our weekly posts, so we are back to posting weekly images. My image was taken earlier this evening at Mt. Baker beach along Lake Washington. We experienced the local Christmas Ship tradition for the first time. Brightly lit ships traveled up the lake and stopped for a short concert of carols. Hundreds of people were waiting at the beach and on the dock to hear them. It was truly beautiful. And, because it’s Seattle, there was a stand-up paddle boarder as well, decorated natch.

Who We Become (hiatus 3)
We have been working on a new plan for a new year for Who We Become in 2015, but they aren’t ready just yet. In the meanwhile, however, we’ve been missing our weekly posts, so we are back to posting weekly images. My image for this week is from our visit with our family today. We are in Massachusetts and visited a Christmas tree farm. Avery made sure to take advantage of the snow to show me what she thinks of my taking photos all the time. 😉 Please click HERE to visit Who We Become and see new images from my dear friends.
