Photo shoot

When E was five days old I set her down on our bed while I grabbed a change of clothes for her. Immediately, she fell asleep there and I took a picture of her. It's one of my very favorites.

So, when L was five days old I set her down on our bed so she could fall asleep. When she did, I took her picture.

When we painted the purple wall I hung both girls' pictures plus a third frame, which holds a print I like, knowing that I'd one day want to stick a third face in there. I love the purple wall. I love the line of their infant faces.

So, when the boy turned five days old I set him down on our bed. I had my camera.

He wouldn't fall asleep.
