a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013

Dear dear friends, it has been far too long! I could give you my lists of excuses, but truth be told, lots has been going on with the Jernigan Wagon, and I very much just needed a break from blogging. But now I'm eager to get back to regular posts and updates for all our friends and family!

I'm loving the idea of doing "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013" as seen all across the blog world. I think it'd be a great way to document our girls throughout the year (I wanted to include Dustin and myself, but that's pushing it, ha). My pictures at first will be from my phone, but I'm hoping to take the rest with my real camera. We shall see! (If you follow me on instagram (@carojernigan), you've seen all of these before!)

Stay tuned for more updates on our MOVE, our new home, Julip's upcoming birthday, Eloise updates from 2-9 months.... oh brother, I've been away too long :). I've missed this outlet of creativity and writing.

Julip, looking out of the south facing windows of our St Louis home.

Eloise, asleep on my chest, the perfect place to be, while out at the park.

Julip, lost in her own world wearing her "watermelon dress" in January.

Eloise, peacefully sleeping with rosy pink "I just drank all the milk I could possibly drink" cheeks.

Julip, exploring her new stream-side wooden wonderland park even with temperatures in the 20s. 

Eloise, expressing her untainted joy through a great big grin (while defeating the giant teddy)!

Julip, eating her first cupcake... ever. This girl loved it! 

Eloise, remembering her entrance into this world- naked, in a tub full of water, with her tiny tongue sticking out! 

It's good to be back!

with love,

Caro
