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

Stella: Crawling along side her brother. She's ambivalent towards the camera, mostly. That is, unless it's turned on her brother, in which case she's working her best angles, making good face and trying to get into the shot. 

Hugo: He's no longer content being a babe in arms. He's down on the ground, exploring and trying to eat all the stones.

What a week this has been. It started off with Stella having a terrible stomach bug that rendered her unable to walk even from her bed to the potty. And then she was better, but then Hugo was sick. So sick he was hospitalized for two days. All the worry, the anxiety, and the stress, not to mention the sleepless nights spent lying next to my boy in a hospital room, well  wiped me out totally and completely. And now we're here on Sunday, and I wonder where on earth the time has gone? 

Things are calm now, again. Today, we spent a little quiet time enjoying the sun in the garden, and that might just have been the highlight of my week.

Linking up with Jodi.
