Mama et Bebe

self portrait

Ok what we have hear is a certain little girl with a pull-up diaper on her head - there are more of these but this is the set where she is holding the camera herself and taking her picture - ladies and gentlemen introducing pull-ups

Christmas on our way to Brasserie 81/2

Every year we have family dinner with Manuel's uncle Robert and his partner Harvey and Alice and various folks - this year Michael Mirlas joined in and made my evening - Alithea was and is so cute as she flutters about charming all she lets in her space of charm - she finally grew into the dress we got her last year - I like this restaurant the food was good and the entrance with it's huge sweeping staircase is so like whatever film comes to mind - I star in my own film often

it's cold out

We noticed that there were few pictures with me and Alithea - so that is changing - the mother daughter relationship is under represented as is - hahahahah

Transformed

An Honor

after letting his hair grow for years "Is it long enough for cornrolls" "Can you braid it yet" not even in high school yet - 8th grade I think - the time had come for a shift - to change a familar - to be more of self - and I got to cut it off - he made a noise as the process of cutting began - "it's never to late to get out of the chair" this too is an experience - sitting there an honoring your first knowing - love you Sasha

Alithea was witness to the event - it was special and so cool of Sasha to share it with me - to assume it

Me and you
