8/52
by Ashley Weeks Cart
“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.”
Sunny: She’s become quite the expressive storyteller. I love watching her interact with our friends when she’s feeling bold and extroverted. She regaled Dellie, her FGM, with a dramatic re-telling of the time she fell down the stairs. It was truly amazing to behold. I feel so proud when she’s confidently engaging with the world around her.
Kaki: Our toddler. Her vocabulary expands by the day and she is such a magnetic, whirling force of energy in our home. I didn’t like any of the photos from our early morning pictures (probably because they were so blurred from her constant motion), so I ‘m using this snap from our Saturday morning hike. One of the only times she is still is while contentedly riding in the backpack aboard Papa’s back.
