Not Routine – Kitsap Documentary Family Photographer

It’s a bit odd being so far behind in blogging this project.  This year has seemed to evaporate before my eyes. I know part of that is due to the fact we have never really settled into a routine this year. We have a baby which means her routine is changing a bit every couple weeks just as a part of growing up. My husband’s travel schedule has been more erratic and frequent this year than anyone could have planned. And that’s pretty much left my son and I standing in the dust trying to figure out what’s next. And he’s 5, so he doesn’t really care as long as whatever is next gives him permission to try his hand a a bit of Playstation.

For some reason, looking back on this day I shot in April, I feel like this was really the beginning of the acceleration towards this, the beginning of the end of 2017.  Why did my husband have breakfast with us? Where was he at bedtime? Did he leave town? Or was he just working odd hours? I don’t even know anymore!

But here is what I do remember. We ate breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast spots and it was delicious and both kids were happy to be there. Our daughter had just started rolling over and she was still only successful at accomplishing that feat maybe every 1 out of 4 time she tried, and she tried a lot. Also, I was able to actually sit down and put my son to bed without also trying to simultaneously manage an infant and that was rare in those earlier days.
