a feather in her hat

Last year in January we pulled out a vintage hat I'd bought for a tea party baby shower, and took some pictures of Torrey (see photos here). Just over a year later, I figured it was Emma's turn with the feather hat. 

I've been thinking a lot this week about my dad. January 24th last year was the first day he took a real turn. The following day my sister and I forced him to go to the hospital. It's strange how this year of firsts walks you back through the events of last year day by day. So much to think about.

“The true soldier fights
 not because he hates what is in front of him, 
but because he loves what is behind him.”

the cross

"The circle is perfect and infinite in its nature; but it is fixed for ever in its size; it can never be larger or smaller. But the cross, though it has at its heart a collision and contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because it has a paradox in its centre it can grow without changing. The circle returns upon itself and is bound. The cross opens its arms to the four winds; it is a signpost for free travelers."
-G.K. Chesterton, 'Orthodoxy'

tulle

Twenty days into project 365. Torrey and I browsed Pinterest for ideas for todays photo. After a failed attempt at copying an idea we saw, I grabbed the tulle that had been our Christmas tree skirt and wrapped her up.
