Summer’s End: new discoveries | Athens PA Child Photographer
This post is part of my Summer’s End photo project. Summer is a special time in my family. It’s time for us to be together without nights of homework, gaps of separation for school and school-related activities. This year our summer is even more special because we have a new member of the family to participate in all the fun.
I’ve been heading out to the towering tomato plant my dad planted at the beginning of the summer with my son every day for two weeks now, waiting for my cherry tomatoes to ripen. I’m the only one in the family who eats them. Or I was, because our 10-month old daughter decided the other day she’d try them out while I was picking some to see if they would ripen off the vine as my parents had suggested. 
They’re not quite ripe and not the grapes she thought they were, but she still seemed to like them.
Mornings with Gracie | Athens, PA Child Photographer
From the moment she wakes up, 10-month old Gracie is looking to explore. Our mornings are a blur of movement for about three hours until she crashes hard for her morning nap.
She’s recently started walking so each morning is a new opportunity to see how far her feet will carry her.
Often this walking and exploring starts before I am even fully awake. Her latest delight is walking but also crawling up the stairs and then waiting for me to carry her back down so she can do it all over again.
She’s also exploring cupboards and drawers and anything else her little chubby hands can open and get into.
Weekly Favorites: July 26 to August 2 | Athens, PA Child Photography
It was a week full of relaxed summer days. It was time to reflect on how quickly my children are growing and how delightful it is to watch them bloom into amazing personalities.
My oldest is bright and funny and crazy.
He has inherited our sense of humor, our sarcasm (which is not always good), and our passion for talking about the things he loves. For now he loves Legos and Minecraft and Doctor Who.
My daughter is ten months old. She is determined, joyful and as amazing as her older brother. On this day she was climbing a slide and not too interested in slowing down when mama said ‘no’.
Digging for worms….
Worms from the recently tilled ground to be used for fishing.
Finally….a little spring
It looks like spring may be on it’s way before too long. We got a taste last week and this week and I have a feeling we will find even more warm weather on it’s way in the next few weeks. I know my son and I and his friends can not wait!
