A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.

Noah: When I look at this cheeky smile, I see the face he use to pull as a toddler when we gave him fizzy drink.
We use to call this his "Fizzy Face". And now he doesn't need fizzy for it at all.

Madison: See the attitude? It comes for free.

HERE NOW, REMEMBERING THEN.

Times that are most remembered are usually the ones most simple. Wintery walks with family; experiencing beautiful sights; collecting shells; picking flowers; wandering around on the sand; smelling the clean fresh air; quiet conversation... it all leads to memories that last forever.

These photos were taken almost six weeks ago, but will be remembered long after the day was over.

Do you find that the most simple experiences are the most memorable?

FANCY PANTS: LAD BEACH STYLE.

Do you know the best thing about being in the depths of winter? That spring is not too far away. Despite running around on the beach at zero (!!!) degrees for a little photo shoot, soon the sun will be here longer, warming our backs and faces. Shortly, we will don our shorts and remove our layers. It's so exciting! I've embraced the beanies, scarves and jackets, but am ready for them to packed away for another six months.

My five year old decided he wanted hair for warmer weather too. This week, after asking and asking, I cut it all off. It takes a couple of looks for me to remember this is my baby. But here he is. All ready for warm weather and school.

Aussie readers, are you looking forward to spring?

Noah: He found this little seat made of volcanic rock. "It's even comfortable,"

he said as he lounged onto it.

 

Madison: Sometimes he doesn't want me to take photos of him

but today he said, "Mum, can you take a photo of me?" And he actually smiled.

Noah: Sometimes there's that smile, and sometimes you can't see the smile past the snot. Boys, eh?

  Madison: Please... stop growing.
