It’s officially fall in New England! Actually, I guess it’s officially fall everywhere in the northern hemisphere, but I must say that of all the places I’ve lived, fall around here feels particularly amazing and autumny. The air chills a littler sooner, the leaves change a little faster and sweaters can soon be unpacked. Woo hoo! It’s the…
Photo 36/52: Shadows and shade
A morning at the park made for some pretty pictures last week. Beany: Dancing with her shadow. There’s something so Peter Pan-esque about this shot. Bear: He’s such a good boy. Let his sister play and play and play while he happily dozed in the shade. If he only knew what fun awaits him once his little…
Photo 35/52: ‘I need to talk to my baby brother’
For the past three mornings in a row, Jared and I have woken to the sound of Beany’s little voice coming through the baby monitor. “It’s another day! I need to talk to my baby brother. Hi, my big boy! Did you have good dreams? I will give you my buddies.” This is our cue to…
Photo 34/52: Picnics
Picnics are one of Beany’s favorite things to do these days. What’s not to love about packing a lunch and eating outside, right? Actually, I think the newfound love stems from her newfound obsession with lunchboxes, which, quite logically, stems from her newfound fascination with school. Here’s a typical household conversation as of late: Beany: “I can’t go…
Photo 33/52: Catching the moment
Bear: A baby boy fresh from his bath. The light was so perfect when I dried him off that night, so I called Jared in to watch him while I ran from the room to grab the camera. Thankfully he was just as picturesque when I returned. Sometimes these simple moments are the absolute sweetest. Beany: Although we…

A sleepy boy and a new Minnie Mouse puzzle game mean one magical moment of quiet. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Photo 31/52: Early morning snuggles
Having a toddler is wonderful. Having a baby is awesome. Having a toddler who regularly requests to hold her baby brother and then sits there whispering things like, “I know, I know, it’s OK,” and, “Oh, I love you, cute boy,” is about as much as my mommy heart can take. XO, Katrina This post is part…
Photo 30/52: Baby blues and growing girls
Bear: Big blues eyes, taking in the world. Beany: Is it just me, or does she suddenly look like a kindergartener? It makes me proud and weepy all at the same time. Happy weekend, pals! XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Photo 29/52: Niagara Falls
We made a stop at Niagara Falls on our way home from Missouri, and that “big, big waterfall,” as Beany still refers to it, was well worth the few miles out of our way. We only stayed a couple of hours, but it’s one of our favorite memories from the whole trip. Beany: Watching the falls from…
Photo 28/52: Let’s go exploring
Beany: “Let’s look, Mommy. Let’s go looking.” A week at the farm turned her into an explorer. Bear: Teething in the sunshine. Oh, what a face. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
