'A portrait a week of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013'
858 days old, busy creating. I love watching Soren's imagination grow - our little ball of energy is always up to something new! It was tricky picking out a photo for this week, there were so many great ones. Here are a few more...
It's a busy one for this fam.
I am wrapping up rehearsal and a broadcast script this morning. Rick will be hanging out with bubs and board opting while I record this evening.
Rick is on air tomorrow morning on WGUC! Yeah!! Hear him announcing Vaughn-Williams, John Adams and more!
I am recording this concert Saturday evening.
We are having our weekly (weekend) breakfast at Green Dog Cafe on Sunday.
Then Soren will go to hang with his Mamaw and Papaw while Rick and I hustle back to work for the day. Then, as the day closes - I get to snuggle up with my love (yum..*sigh...) for some House of Cards and good wine.
Happy Weekend!
Life has been super hectic in our household. The anticipation of spring is making us all a bit anxious and excited for warmer weather to explore our new surroundings. That doesn't prevent our wish lists from growing....
Currently I am lusting for this new brew method.
Looking forward to buying Soren some additional books for his library...
...after making room for new gizmos in his playroom following this blogs advice.
Can't wait to re-plant and properly care for our new succulents
And really, REALLY pumped about this new release I recorded with Producer Michael Reisman and Composer Philip Glass.

Chores are tough - we have a sort of love/hate relationship. They are a bit exhausting and with a 2 year old todd. running around, they seem a bit pointless. That being said - I do enjoy them. Weird? Not really. They are my zen moments. I tidy up, clean with some green cleaners (Soren even lends a hand most times!) and get to revel in some nice, fresh cleanliness. It's almost like meditation.
And then within minutes it's back to chaos but that's perfectly alright. I find myself glancing at toys sprawled across the floor and crayons strewn on paper with marker caps still open - smiling ear to ear. He's creating, exploring and just being. I love that.
But trying to keep up with the chores, a full time job and wanting so desperately to be an active mother leaves me absolutely wiped. So it was time to make some changes. I have been following this wonderful blog, where the author wrote this great book on how to Project Organize Your Entire Life. I started with the lists and dwindled them down into projects and voila! Our very own chore list. Not in the photo is a wonderful Meal Plan/Grocery list from this site that I laminated so we can re-use them with dry erase markers. It's been less than a week and I am already in love with the system and feeling much more accomplished and A LOT less stressed. Thanks MPMK!

Soren say's 'Cheese!!!' He calls it the 'cam! cam!' He is getting so big. Soren's vocabulary is growing by the minute, even if he can only snag the first syllable.
