Caleb wanted these to be michael jackson shots , ie hanging the baby over but I said no. they were so disappointed - I am such a mean mother.

day after tomorrow (tuesday) is my 200th blip finally. if my breastfeeding experiences werent terrible, if my net hadnt gone down irreparably (can I spell? no, I cant!) for two months, if I hadnt moved in the summer, I would have been at about 400 blips by now. that is so distressing.

that's okay. this time next year it will be about 500. I'll take what I can get.


I have been having a bad relationship with my photography lately. I feel uninspired. after some time I realised I have never in my life been prolific at anything during midwinter months. I am hibernating I guess. so with some relief (I thought there was another reason, something dreadful, maybe) I decided that until it's warmer with more light in the spring, I shall take dancing classes, take my children to museums, buy books, and read up on and aquire a saltwater fish tank. and there, inspirations.
