songs of life - when you grow up

this month the songs for life group focused on the song "when you grow up". being that i have a three week old (and a three year old), i couldn't realistically get out and shoot sidewalk chalking or a game of kickball with my boys. so i decided to shoot in a comfortable location (for all of us) and let finley interact with his baby brother. of course i helped the lifestyle element of this along by including a few appropriate props, but putting such a little baby and a sort of wild kiddo together means i have to control some elements.

finn took time to show brother his trains and a car and he "read" a story. when rowan grows up, maybe he'll be like finn. (i can only hope to have another sweet cherubic boy!) when they both grow up to be bigger than me, i don't know what they'll be, but i'm hoping this bond that's already clear just a few weeks in becomes even stronger. i'm a lucky mama to watch them grow together.

 
 

 

peering over the book to be sure rowan is listening.
 




 

 

 
telling rowan how big he'll be when he grows up.
 

 
comparing hands - one tiny and one medium.
 

 
my boys the brothers.
 

 

 

be sure to continue along the blog circle to see the rest of the "when you grow up" interpretations. here's the next one.

These are sweet perfection Alauna. I can only imagine how it feels watching your boys interact together, and imagining how they will grow up together. I adore that Finn loves his brother so much. The b&w above shot of Finn holding Rowan (4th from the bottom) - makes my heart melt. Absolute perfection. Love all of these.

Oh.My.Goodness.

These are so beautiful. Such a sweet bond they share. Wow. I adore those shots of Finn reading to Rowan, but these are all moments to be cherished. Great work, as always!

i love that b&w one - the 7th i think if i counted correctly - i feel like the edit really complements the feel of the image. i have some images of my boys' hands when my second was a newborn and they are my favorite images.
