that clover is allowed outside without a hat.
poor thing is at risk of either melting or just bursting into flames at pretty much any other time of day and such a pity since she loves to be outside.
now can we talk about the boy for a moment…
for one thing, the hair. the hair is outstanding. outstanding and in desperate need of a cut.
secondly, i was not kidding about the car obsession. he sees wheels and must lie down. now, it is either from being overcome with sheer joy or for a better view, i am not sure.
he can spend hours on the floor just watching the wheels. some sort of future mechanic savant?
and gemma. oh gemma. five is such a complicated state of being.

love it…poor clover. and wow about the lie down lookin at cars thing(thats a first that i know of)….but wow Gemma looks absolutly beautiful too. nice pics
Again my son is just like Keiran, Every time he sees a car and plays with it he has to lay down on the floor. I think it's to look at the wheels specifically.
ooh gemma! pretty eyes!!
Clover always makes me smile. She is such a special little girl. Gemma looks so pretty here.
both my boys were the same with the wheels. for my oldest I could tip back the stroller so he could spin the front wheels and that would occupy him for as long as it took to do whatever I needed doing. I organized/ordered elfa stuff for two entire walk in closets doing that!
beautiful shots, as always.
Oooh, that last photo of Gemma… Just stunning.
that's so funny about your son and cars … my son (who's a month from 7) explained to me that there were kids who loved cars and kids who loved superheros … he was a superhero kind of kid and jake (the boy in his 4 y/o pre-school class who prompted this conversation) was a car kind of kid … they just couldn't play together
oh it's a boys thing alright! My nephew did the same at Keiran's age, and now he is almost 11, he is a car racing freak (it's all about Ford) he races the scalextric cars and loves go carting. I tell my bro in law to get him into it so he can go Formula 1, one day. But unless he has a measly 2 million and contacts laying around…lol
Love the shots!… and yeah..five is complicated! My daughter turned 5 in oct, the cogs in that little brain are forever turning. Check out her question to me on my blog, lol. I didn't expect that one.

oh those little faces-I miss them so much
I miss the parents too…
love-me
Cute pictures. You can see Kieran's obsession with the wheels! LOL! Clover is cute and looks so happy to be outside. Gemma looks so serious! Is she always busy thinking about stuff?
miss you all too.
Yes, 5 is complicated, but it is merely a prelude….. wait for 14. Now THAT'S complicated!!
they are so sweet and funny! that photo of gemma is just magical though! (im still in search for clover beautiful enough to decorate your sweet girl)
not sure how I got here, but just stumbled to your blog, your talent has totally delighted and inspired me that I totally forgot I was going to watch a movie tonight, now that the kids are in bed. Thanks for sharing your keen eye with the world.
wow. what a kind thing to post. thank you very much!
My son does that laying on the ground playing with his cars thing. He loves watching the wheels drive. For his 2nd birthday, we gave him a little kiddy tool kit and that has added to the fun of playing with his cars. Now he can fix them!
That last shot of Gemma is stunning!
what fun summer pics!
looks like fun is being had by all….execept for maybe gemma 
Haha i love that photo of Kieron lying on the floor engrossed in the wheels! Very cute!
Everest used to lie down to watch the wheels too.
