I never intended to replace "normal" blogging with weekly Instagram updates with Henry.  

And what a nice surprise it has been to have his first year documented in such detail like that.

But it has made me lazy.

I miss crafting words and music and photos together to share our story.

Mostly, it makes me cringe when I think of how little I used my real camera to photograph my own family at home.  Unexcusable really.

So in February I vowed to take a photo a day with my Canon.  I think I missed two days.

Still a major success.  I LOVE these photos.  

These moments of Henry at eight months frozen in time.

Our real life.  Our crazy messy beautiful life.

February 5th - my favorite series from the month.

I don't know what took me so long.

It feels good to be back.
