i wanted a "twelve year old" picture of abe for our mantel, so spontaneously i took him outside and shot a few photos of him. it was terrible lighting, but we did it anyway.
are these pictures of dave or abram? seriously reminds me of dave, way back in the day when i used him for my photo class model in high school. crazy.
it's hard to believe that abe is twelve!
dave bought him a suit so he can pass the sacrament this sunday. sadie keeps reminding me that abe will now go to mutual with her. i need to soak this kid up. life moves pretty fast. it doesn't seem like too long ago when he was born and we were living in virginia. dave was busy with medical school, i got bell's palsy and it was difficult. i had to tape my eye shut at night and it was painful. i felt like a freak whenever i went out, but then i would hold abe close and he would snuggle in and put his head against my droopy cheek and he would say, "mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm." i'm so glad i had him to get me through that difficult phase. i remember just loving him and being so grateful that he was healthy. it made the difficult doable, even easier, and worth it. he is a capable kid, such a peacemaker, kind and not to mention awesome!
couldn't keep a serious face without breaking a smile.
love the look.
dave and i used to practice this look...i'm so glad it got passed down:)
i really like this kid!
i was sick this morning (the last few days every one has been throwing up at our house. i thought vivian and i refrained, but i started throwing up this morning) before abe left for school, he brought me breakfast in bed. a fancy tray with a banana and sprite. i knew he was caring about me and we connected.
