I had the privilege of meeting up with this family on one of the few days every year that they are all together. True love pulled this Seattle mom away from her Massachusetts-based family (and their fantastic lakeside home), but, luckily, this amazing locale beckons her–and more importantly the grandsons–back each summer for an extended stay. She wanted everyone to join in the fun so we got portraits that depict a mix of young love, love that has stood the test of time, and love that squeezes itself in between two young kids–and then there is the love that the kids breathe in each day, all the time. I love that about kids, they just assume that the powerful love that they get from adults is their right. I think that it is, but I cannot imagine what it would be like to be kissed 100 times a day and barely acknowledge the affection. I will have to ask a toddler to tell me about it.
These little guys were attended to by multiple adults–G-G, Pop-pop, Uncle D, and Mom and Dad. Their wish was the command of a gaggle of adoring adults. Well, good for them, that is what a month at grandma’s is supposed to be like.
This is the whole kit and caboodle:
