Just yesterday, we received the news that there would be two.
Just yesterday, I gave birth to two baby boys.
Just yesterday, two teeny new newborns came into our lives, packaged with double the noise and a puppy smell that made me want to hug and hold you until you popped.
Just yesterday, I watched your dadda take you out for your morning walks and hold your podgy fingers to trim your tiny fingernails.
Just yesterday, I heard you call a caterpillar a pasta pillow.
Yes, blog readers, it was only just yesterday.
Blink.
And today Jake and Liam are four.
Happy Birthday, Boys!

I was at my PC surfing my regular haunts of inspiration on the Web, with Oliver at my side, when I happened upon my favourite children photographer's blog.
In one image, Oliver spotted a kite and asked: "Can I have one of those?"
So, of course, that kite we made.
Here's Liam with the kite that does not fly ;-)
Liam and his "magic" bubble.
The latest craze around here; snakes, lizards and frogs.
I was checking to see if there are any wedding pics up yet and saw these pictures. You have got the most beautiful children!!!
(10.13.10 @ 02:55 PM)Thank you for your message, Andrea. I really appreciate your thoughts. Hmmm...I think I prefer photographing elephants to snakes!!
(10.15.10 @ 08:55 AM)Hi. I just have to say your work is amazing. your children are beautiful. i have a question though. What camara do you use?
(10.17.10 @ 05:32 PM)I have a Canon 5D MII. These were shot with my 50m 1.8.
(10.18.10 @ 07:23 AM)Friday afternoon picnic. Grass under our feet, cold ciders, throwing stones into the stream . A perfect way to end the week.
Happy birthday to your boys!!
(11.23.10 @ 10:43 AM)Congratulations to the midgets!!!!!
(11.24.10 @ 07:19 AM)AWESOME. I usually reserve myself from superlatives, especially when it comes to photography, considering that I see tons of awful imagery, with tags like "amazing", "mind blowing" and the like. My wife and I have a brand new baby girl, (our second, my son is about 2 months older than your twins) born in the very early morn of the 27th of November, 2010. I don't shoot newborns, and generally loathe the cutesy manner in which babies are portrayed. Of course, being a photographer, the question was "we want to see pictures". So, I decided to do some research, and find a style that I like. Yours is it. Inspirational. And now I drift over here to your blog. I find this. I'm just jotting a note to say that your style is very cool, and what you said has made me decide that I NEED to shoot the shots I want to remember my baby girl in this most special time. Thanks.
(11.30.10 @ 10:20 AM)Thank you for the kind words Eric.
(12.13.10 @ 08:52 PM)Shoot away, it (time) really does go so VERY fast. Enjoy every second with your new arrival.
