Last week of December » Aldergrove Family Photographer

Post #30 of Personal Project 52 weeks.

* Sleeping. It’s rare to be able to photograph him sleeping. This was a daytime nap that lasted 3 hours. An exceptionally long nap for him.

* Trying to keep up to his brother.

* He is unexpectedly careful with Noah’s builds. Making slight modifications here and there but ensuring that the Lego creations remain recognizable. Thereby keeping the peace.

* He is an early riser. It’s hard to get him to stay in bed past 6 am. Often he is up at 5:30. We have tried many tactics to get him to sleep later but I think he’s just wired to be an early riser. Like his dad and completely unlike me.

* New Years Day was a sunny, cold, crisp day. It’s our tradition to spend Christmas with the L family and New Years Day with the V family. It is the only day of the year that my father declares a holiday for himself. We went for a walk at the New Westminster Quay.

* We toured one of the steamboats.

* One of my blog followers noted some time ago that Art hardly appears in any of these weekly posts. So I’m making a bigger effort to photograph him. He’s not terribly keen to be photographed. I don’t know why. Mr. GQ.

* Captain Noah.

* Opa & Oma V and the kids. This is the best photo despite a lot of bribery. My kids know all my tricks and are completely unfazed by me acting like a crazy person. And my parents appear confused. Or amused. Either way, I still don’t have a proper photo of my kids and my parents.
