Jarvis and I had dinner at Susie's last night. After dinner Susie walked us to the bus stop and waited for the bus with us. (Justin had to work and took the car).

I am lucky Jarvis loves the bus, he thinks it is a great adventure to stand up and look out the window. Oh, and not to mention the pleasure of pushing the bell. The whole walk home from the bus he had on repeat "Stop, ding ding".

I had planned to photograph Jarvis's face on the bus to show the joy that shines through. But once on I was so taken with how happy he was I left my camera in my bag and was content just to watch him and be in the moment.

Last year Jodi inspired me to pick up my camera and turn the focus inward. This year I have opted to continue with the series as I feel there are still so many family stories to be told through photos. So I will continue to Link up with Jodi  (the artist formerly known as Che & Fidel now Practising Simplicity) for the 52 Project.

Jarvis it is like some times you know when someone needs extra love. Your Aunty Susie, or Sisss as you like to call her, got some bad news, so you went and sat on her foot, patiently waiting for her to finish her phone call, then you gave her a kiss and ran off and played... 

She is my little sister, but she is the glue of this family. Susie is constantly giving to everyone. Lets hope the universe can give a positive outcome.

There are a few, Portrait a Week options out there. A lot involve taking a portrait of your children each week. Jodi over at Che and Fidel has inspired me to pick up my camera and turn the focus inward. Since I already take 100s of photos of my children each week, so I thought I would twist the idea a little. What I never seem to get is group shots, images of the family together, whether it is my two children, Tamika and Jarvis, or me with the kids, or shots of Justin and I. So I am going to challenge myself to get one image of "my family" per week.
