As I’ve pretty much broadcasted everywhere, my babies had their birthday’s this week/weekend. The neat thing about my kid’s “birth” day is that they were both born on the first Monday of July just after 5AM. Christofer was six days early, Janey eleven. I love that their birthday’s are so close together, that they are exactly two years apart, that they are a little boy and a little girl. I am so eternally grateful that I have these two children that most of the time I am actually nauseous when I think of them, so sick to my stomach that I won’t be able to keep them safe, so terrified that I love them just so much. Then one of them screams hysterically and/or won’t nap and then I sort of snap out of it for a minute. But still, I’d take sleepless nights and teething and temper tantrums over not having them any minute of my life.
So here are a few shots of Christofer from the weekend and Janey from this afternoon. I edited these on my laptop, so for all I know, they are green, red, blown out and everything else bad. The ones inside today are ridiculously high ISO and a tungsten bulb and so the color is wonky and noisy so I just decided to make it more so. So that’s my disclaimer, especially if I go upstairs and look on my desktop and freak. Now I don’t have to, we all know they are shot.
[btw, how ADORABLE is that dress? A gift from some very lovely friends, I believe from Shock Kids in Westhampton Beach... I knew the minute I opened the package last year she'd wear it for just a minute on her birthday!]
Here’s the boy, saying he’s “free” and holding up four fingers.
Oh My Goodness, heaven help how much I love them.
