"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

 

J - The younger brother, always looking up to A for help or to see how things are done. Like his mumma though he knows his own mind and likes to do things his way too

 

A - Ever the patient older brother, he looks after J and teaches him. He is so much like his Daddy, he has the kindest heart

February

I love to do lists, I think it has allot to do with my love of a new note book. The look and feel of the covers, the clean blank pages ready for my notes, ideas, scribbles and ever lasting to do list

I have a new one, very old school.

Everyday is not a good day

We found a lovely sculpture trail near where we live today, most of the pieces were made by groups of people such as people in care homes, scout and guide groups, schools and nurseries. There were other children there climbing too, Asa and Jasper loved playing with them

Not everyday is a good and happy day. I am a bit down at the moment, I can't figure out why so I am just going with it and having a little cry when I need to. I am sure I will start to feel brighter soon

The sun was high and bright today, a biting wind though

Take care, Natalie xx
