This was The Bad Week. I’m going to do the most recent week’s post tomorrow so I bump it down the page quickly. I still don’t want to talk about it.
Sunday:
Mini sessions day 2
Photographer life means ALL the throw blankets
I have the best clients. This had Boston cream in it.
Monday:
He was so excited about the fake oranges he needed real oranges
These are not outside shoes
Hates everything
Tuesday:
Nope, don’t want to talk about it
They’re having fun, I promise
Wednesday:
He’s OBSESSED
I “found” Everest, if by “found” you mean spent a crazy amount to replace the lost one
His hair makes me happy
Thursday:
D0N’T JUDGE ME I CAN BUY CHRISTMAS STUFF
More appropriate bus stop shoes
Her response to “Can I take a picture?”
Friday:
Kid Chess has very different rules than real chess
Always so judgy
A bin of baby clothes I haven’t seen in 6 years
Saturday:
Another gorgeous day at the seaport
Outdoor nursing in November
Very focused on stacking
I need at least 3 more weeks of outdoors weather before I’m fully ready to commit to my winter hibernation. Or at a minimum, it needs to not be frigid until after we get the Christmas tree and the lights up. IT’S SOON. SOOOOOOOON.

Late again. Honestly, for most of the week it was a miracle I kept my family alive, there was no chance of me blogging. I don’t talk about politics much here, partly because it doesn’t come up when I’m mostly sharing photos of my family, partly out of a desire to avoid conflict and partly so my parents don’t have to constantly pray for my soul (we have…very different opinions on many things). But in this case I feel like I need to be clear: I am devastated and shocked, to a degree that has surprised me. I wasn’t at all prepared for these feelings and I’m struggling. I don’t expect my blogging schedule will get any better in the next few weeks.
Sunday:
Caroline’s favorite hobby
Still gotta catch ’em all
The location of one of my best photoshoots to date
Monday:
Couch naps are happening here more and more
Sure, why WOULDN’T you hit me with a stick?
Trick or treating
Tuesday:
This bear was such an excellent purchase
Bus stop hand holding
Edit all day, edit all night
Wednesday:
We really like fall
One of the last days where the sun doesn’t set before 5 pm
Rolls on rolls
Thursday:
Snuggle all day
These pants tho
Evan’s face when Linc meets him at the bus
Friday:
His head is SO ROUND
Someone found the donut holes
Card night
Saturday:
Every kid at mini sessions asked if this was a haunted cabin
I love working
I do not love this new hairstylist
I’ve spent the last two morning in Mystic, enjoying the fall weather and sunshine and refusing to let myself wallow. They also sell fudge. That might be the real reason I’ve managed to drag myself out of bed.

This was two weeks ago. I keep failing at this “post more, in a more timely manner” way. But I finished my photography work this weekend – at least the shooting part, now I just have to edit – so hopefully I can catch up and finish the four posts I have in drafts. Although they’re all about how having 4 kids is hard, so maybe I’ll make it one post.
Sunday:
One of my favorite fall spots
Beautiful evening for a photo shoot
I came home to video games and no pants
Monday:
This is why I hardly blog
They’re obsessed with our Halloween decorations
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Tuesday:
Smirk captured by Lincoln
CHUBS
His hood has fox ears
Wednesday:
Portrait mode – cool, but lousy in low light
He fell asleep on me…
…but didn’t budge when I got up to make dinner
Thursday:
Shenanigans
Lap naps
Edit edit edit edit
Friday:
These are my favorite jammies
Hand me downs are her favorite
Movies in the car during piano lessons = game changer
Saturday:
SNACKS ARE HIS FAVORITE
End of soccer season reward
Pumpkin shopping
Oh look, I’m almost finished and now the baby is awake again. One day I will get a full hour of free time.

I’m going to write a real post. Soon. Maybe even 2 posts. I have thoughts and things to say about going from 3 children to 4, about how our routine is working, and about how my big kids are becoming more responsible. And Finn will be 2 months old in just a couple days so I’ll have that one up too. Blogging is hard.
Sunday:
Perfect outdoor weather
These are not my chickens but I really like chickens
Two parties in one day = sugar overload
Monday:
Cupcakes are a poor choice in a bounce house
Camel wearing
Finn’s face looks like this about 87% of the time
Tuesday:
The only thing I did all day was clean this up
Bus stop face
A+ sibling interaction
Wednesday:
Playgroup art is high quality art
Playgroup is also exhausting
Seat stealer
Thursday:
Helping change the sheets
My favorite tree
After school shenanigans
Friday:
The only place he’s sleeping right now
IPAD OBSESSED
The huge bear was an excellent purchase
Saturday:
Rounded head ever
Corn-mazing
This was not as good as I had imagined
I had a photo shoot yesterday and needed someone to watch the kids, so I bribed my friend Steph into doing it by promising her a photo of her kids for their Christmas card. That meant she watched seven children under the age of seven. So when I’m feeling overwhelmed by my four, I just keep reminding myself at least there aren’t three more of them all the time.

OH MY GOSH I NEVER POSTED THIS. This is your brain on sleep deprivation, kids. You write a post on Sunday and don’t even realize it didn’t publish to your blog until Friday.
Finnegan is working on winning an award for being the fattest baby ever, so if I’m not nursing I’m throwing food at one of the other kids quickly so I can go back and nurse some more. I wrote “this too shall pass” on my foot, so I can stare at it while I’m trapped on the couch. Again. So this week’s photos (and every week for the next 6 months) are pretty boring
Sunday:
E: Why are you taking a photo of the fog on the bridge? Me: You have to! It’s the Golden Gate! E: You’re so weird. *ten minutes later when we meet my parents* My Mom: DID YOU SEE THE FOG ON THE BRIDGE? I TRIED TO TAKE A PICTURE!
Tired baby transferred from the car to the luggage without waking up
That face was my face through the whole rest of the trip
Monday:
Maybe I shouldn’t have left my dog at this kennel…
Is anyone watching Westworld? It’s really weird.
Nurse nurse nurse nurse nurse
Tuesday:
The toddler is the scariest part of these decorations
Little cub
Soccer night
Wednesday:
This was an excellent idea
Tresspassing
DON’T LET THEM GET AWAY.
Thursday:
Checking to see if he’s asleep
A really good afternoon
Wearing two babies!
Friday:
Piano lesson car nap
Sleepy face
How is this possible, it was so clean less than 24 hours ago…
Saturday:
God bless this van and the movie screen in it (especially when it’s freezing at soccer)
Fall is OK
Excuse me, why am I not nursing rn?
OK, now I have to go to bed because the baby is asleep for his 45 minute nighttime stretch. It’s delightful. I’m not even going to TRY to go upstairs. Couch naps forever! (quiet sobbing)
