Brothers . May 2012

Last month marked 1 year of the "Brothers" pictures.  This month, May, is the first month where I can link back to the same time last year.
.
And, WOW.  What a difference a year makes!

Brothers . May 2012
(Harvick, Ryder, and Jarrett)
.
We attempted a picture after the boys' birthday party, just before changing into their jammies.  They were all tired.  No one wanted to cooperate.  The only reason you're really seeing smiles is because Harvick was trying to get away, and Ryder thought it was funny to hold his arm so he couldn't.
.
With a not-that-great picture from the birthday, we made another attempt on Mother's Day.
.
While it would be awesome to have an everyone-look-at-the-camera-and-smile shot, that just isn't going to happen.  It's for the sake of the memory.  Capturing my boys together each month.  Seeing the subtle changes month-to-month, and the HUGE changes when you compare year-to-year.
.
It's (at times very) challenging.  And, completely worth it.

I love the brother photos! I take monthly (used to be weekly) photos of Jane and Ben both on the same blanket to track their growth. I love that they used to be tiny and now their legs hang off the blanket when they lay down.
