elsa...paddling pool days a-go-go.
dipping in and out and then ducking under the makeshift tent.
first tan lines...gorgeously scented jason.
3 freckles between your brows.

last week i really liked this photo of stella with her baby doll...so small against the garage doors.
always loving the discovery of a new-to-me-blog too :)

elsa...our peonies are practically the size of your head! almost collapsing under the summer rain.
so how could i refuse your request to pick a few this morning?

(i am quite blown away that we are at the half way point of this project. how about you?)

i really loved these stripey portraits from last week. i am at that point too of catching a glimpse in to the future on occasion of my girl as a grown up...it seems to only happen in the snapshot second that a camera can capture...a little bit heartbreaking all the same!

elsa...you tinker!joyful times taking your photo for a father's day gift. like we did last year.
but i really can't believe just how much you have changed in 12 months.
even more crazy beautiful and so full of character.

my favourite 23/52 was little icon lily! such a great pose captured.

having tried to update this post with the addition of the photo i doodled on and framed for elsa's daddy i seemed to go and loose the whole thing. grrrr...please forgive all the funny blogger spacing. i just can't seem to fix it!

but hey. happy father's day. ice cream is on the menu here!
