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

Julip, answering a surprise phone call from her Grandpa Bobo. Clearly, she's delighted! 

Eloise, happy to take a break from smiling at the mirror to smile at me. (Eek, not quite in focus, but trying...)

I'm really enjoying this project of a portrait every week. Sometimes I struggle to find even one picture from either my camera or my phone that I'm proud to post. But other weeks, I can't decide what photo to add! Here are some of the outtakes from this week. Some are a little blurry, but still too sweet not to post! 

Eloise got a carpet burn right between her eyes. 

Trying on Mommy's glasses. 

Finishing up her lunch, drinking from my childhood German mug. 

And trying her hardest to suction the mug to her chin. Something every child somehow learns to do. Julip has a bruise on her forehead, too. And a Valentine's tattoo.  

 The way she looks up at her sister. 

 And smiles in playful joy! 

And smiles back at that cute baby in the mirror. 

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope many of you are off spending the day in leisure. 

with love, 

Caro
