The Gallery – self-portrait
By · 2 Comments
I let very few pictures of me pass, mostly because I am the official photographer of the house, so I get to delete them ones I dislike in the editing process, but also because I am the official photographer of the house and so I’m rarely at the other end of the lens. (Seriously, Husband has many, many skills but taking decent photos is not one of them – the DSLR and him is a disastrous combination.)
Something happens when I put on sunglasses though. Maybe it is the summery feeling that I get, maybe it is that they hide the bags under my eyes and cover up half of my face; whatever it is, photos of me in sunglasses get allowed nine times out of ten.
And it looks as if Little O is following in my footsteps (and he even managed to get them on the right way up this time!).

The Gallery: Expressions
By · 2 Comments
Baby E has a couple of different facial expressions that just make me smile so much: tongue out in concentration and scepticism, mostly when presented with some new food.
These two are perfect examples of these expressions and fit so well into the Gallery theme for this week.
I think that in about 80% of the photos I have taken of Baby E he has his tongue out. But I am pleased that I finally managed to capture his sceptical look at last.

Why not head over to The Gallery and see what photos others have chosen.

The Gallery: Together
By · 2 Comments
Now that Baby E is 14 months old and Little O is almost three, the boys have really started to interact with one another and can even “play” together for short periods. There are hugs and kisses, punctuated with the occasional shove, and Little O is becoming increasingly protective of his little brother. Yes, sometime his cuddles are a little too hard and knock Baby E to the floor, but on the whole they get on well these days.
It is amazing to watch, especially for me having grown up as an only child. I don’t know how long this phase will last, until they reach ages that aren’t so compatible, so I am just going to enjoy this togetherness while it lasts.

Why not head over to The Gallery at Tara’s place and see what everyone else has posted this week.
In brief: English, living in Sweden, with my Swedish/Hungarian husband and our sons, Little O and Baby E, and trying to juggle all the different aspects of my new life - the me I was before, the me I am now and the me that I would like to be...
