Our winter weather has been bananas lately. Within the same week, we had a chilly skating day, followed a few days later by a weirdly warmish afternoon at the park. I know the snow is coming, so we should enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. But we have two tiny snowsuits that are ready to…
Photo 50/52: Magic in the air
Christmas is nearly here, and we’re feeling lots of love and happy. Hope you are, too. Beany: Scouting out Christmas decorations in downtown Salem. Everything is magic to her right now. Bear: Cozied up again in his trusty bear suit. That sweet sideways smile is making my heart all melty. XO, Katrina This post is…
Photo 49/52: Christmas jammies
I can’t remember a single time in my life that my older brother wanted (or was willing) to dress like me, but I totally get it now. Dressing kids in matching clothes is the best, particularly if those clothes are Christmas jammies. Bear: Have you ever seen a more dapper tuft of hair on a…
Photo 44/52: Family resemblance
Even as felines, it’s pretty uncanny. That wide-eyed stare must be genetic. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Happy birthday, Beany!
XO, Katrina
Photo 39/52: May they always be buddies
It’s getting harder and harder to take pictures of Bear without Beany jumping in these days. “Me, too! I want to smile with my baby brother!” Aside from his weekly photos (like the ones I did for Beany during her first year), I can’t say that I mind. I love how much she wants to be with him,…
‘Ella is my best friend. But Ella is a dog.’
A few days ago, Beany came to me with a very solemn face and very serious news to share. “Mommy, I have to tell you something,” she said. “What is it?” I asked her. “Ella is my best friend. But Ella is a dog.” I came across this photo while editing the two from yesterday, and…
Photo 38/52: Rainy days
Beany: So excited to wear her boots in the rain. So appalled by that blast of cold air that came with it. Bear: With a sister who brings him so many buddies, this boy will never be lonely. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of…
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 25/52: Strawberry kids
Summer heat might not be my favorite thing in the world, but I love that on any given weekend in the warmer months, I can Google “things to do in Boston today” (yes, that’s exactly what I search for) and find tons of great events to keep us happy and occupied. Our most recent adventure…
