Photograph your child once a week every week for a year 25/52

hayley took a bite of her first summer peach 

yesterday, the sweetness took her by surprise

as she closed her eyes to enjoy every bite.

thursday hayley went to her first graduation, as 

i was chatting with hayley about what was going 

to happen, she was distracted by the loud noises and 

yelling from everyone that was anxiously awaiting

their graduate. almost everyone had balloons and 

flowers to give their children, along with posters 

that read congratulations graduates. suddenly the 

parents became silent and the music started 

playing, which was a cue that every child was going 

to walk through those doors one last time. i told 

hayley graduation was not about the pomp and 

circumstance, but about a memorable moment 

for her. [image description: a baby in a stroller
