bath night with twins

by sesame on September 27, 2010

poor clover is dealing with eczema again.  just when we get on top of it, just when we think we have found what works, it flares up all angry on her sweet little body. photo notes:  d3 with the 50mm f/1.4 processed from raw in acr – playing with different processing just for fun.  my [...]

bup!

by sesame on September 19, 2010

that is the twins’ word for jump.  we all say it now.  the whole family sounds crazy when we talk to the twins. coo-coo bup.  memma bup. i love their crazy mixed up words. gemma used to say “babysuit” for bathing suit and now she counts in japanese… soon enough the twins will be smarter [...]

it has taken me 2 and 1/4 years to get this shot

by sesame on September 19, 2010

and it is not the one i thought it would be. i have been trying to get photos of clover in clover since she was born. when she was a baby, it was always too wet or too cold, rain in the winter is apparently all that stuff needs to thrive. now that she is a [...]

twins

by sesame on August 26, 2010

gemma went as Matilda for her school book week character day.  and that slight smile is hiding her first ever wobbly tooth. come on tooth fairy, we are ready. clover finally has enough hair for a ponytail.  a wispy, straggly, wish of a ponytail.   i wonder how old she will be when she gets her first [...]

how are those twins?

by sesame on August 25, 2010

they are crazy…thanks for asking. kids wear things on their heads…right?  cause all i can think about is the little boy from the movie “parenthood” who walks in circles with a bucket on his head, so um, please say your normal kids do this too. oh and photo info…shot these with my new Sigma 24-70mm [...]

she owned the place

by sesame on July 20, 2010

clover went back to the hospital today to meet with her metabolic team.  she walked in the door and marched off towards the elevators.  i was merely there to keep up with her and push the stroller holding our bags.  you would never know that only a year ago, she was stuck in a bed [...]

still a baby

by sesame on July 8, 2010

when she needs to be.  for the most part, we are done with the baby bottles… but some nights, this is what she needs.  and what she needs, she gets.  we are suckers like that. (more bali pictures soon)
