                                  " A portrait of my boys, once a week, every week, in 2013 "

Bear: lashes from behind the lens
Wolf: has to do what big brother is doing
Hawk: He's Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Each of the older boys (it sounds strange to say that) received their own camera as a birthday gift from my in laws. It is so adorable to watch them roam around and take pictures. Bear is especially careful to get close ups of the details and trying various angles before feeling pleased with his results and moving on to his next subject.
In other news our sweet baby Hawk is home! We are so excited to be able to sleep all under one roof (scratch that, I forgot there is little sleep done with a newborn but we are happy to be together just the same) He seems to be doing well and getting use to his new environment and even sleeping through some toddler cuddles (we are still trying to master "gentle")  the boys are so happy to have him home and it makes my heart swell at just how much love they have for him already.

   " A portrait of my boys, once a week, every week, in 2013 "

Bear: Nature photographer in the making 

Wolf: Morning breakfast in our new routine 

Hawk: Day 13 in the NICU... is it over yet?

Life is still upside down with baby Hawk still in the NICU. Mornings are spent eating breakfast, squeezing in some play time with the boys before I am off to spend the rest of the day with baby. As you can imagine this has been a tough transition for all of us. It's been feeling a little like treading water hoping that this will all be over soon. I cannot wait  until we have this little guy home with us.

                                 " A portrait of my boys, once a week, every week, in 2013 "

Bear: Needed a nap with mama  close to him
Wolf: luggage and messes in the background and extra cuddles from his uncle
Hawk: new and so tiny

not many real pictures taken this week but these Iphone pictures pretty much represent our week in a nutshell. Exhausted, emotional and new.
