Recently I joined a circle of amazing women who have two things in common with me for sure…. we are mothers and photographers. We love our children with every ounce of us and we love to document their everyday with our camera lens. Each month we will write letters to our sons and daughters in order to document their everyday in pictures and words. Our hope is that these letters serve as an everlasting memory of their childhood.

And here is letter number eleven…

Dear Adri,
As another year comes to an end, I feel the need to reflect back on everything we have experienced together this year. 2014 has been a good year for us both. We both have accomplished so much in so little time and we started doing the things we have always wanted to do.

We took incredible trips… Sometimes together and at times apart…. So many opportunities to see things we hadn’t seen before. You took a road trip to Las Vegas…. A long one… But well worth it because you had time to spend with your cousins. We went to the beach in the summer…. And you caught a big fish (well it looked bigger in the picture). And I can’t forget the incredible trip we took to Disney. Spending Christmas Day with you at the happiest place on earth was one of the best moments in my life.

2014 was a year of living for both of us. For a long time I felt that our lives were on hold for one reason or another…. But this past year I was determined to change that. And Adri… We did. No longer were we waiting …. Instead we were living! And we did such a good job doing it! I can’t wait to see what 2015 brings us!

love,

mommy
