Zoey turns One

How time has past... has it been a full year...

I count it in laughter. In tears. In moments gone in an instant, but treasured forever. 

I try to remember everything.

To live in every moment and never let it go.

Everyone warns you.."Your life will be over", You'll never be the same". 

This used to offend me, but now I understand. 

I don't want my my old life. I don't want to be the same. I just want now. With you.

With you life is more beautiful, more alive, vibrant, tangible, terrifying, real.

I didn't know I could love my husband more...
Being her father, seeing how she adores him and how he light up everytime he sees her,
has made me love him in a way I did not think possible.
Thank you to my husband for taking the photos of me & her.

Bam Family | Touwsrivier

The road to Touwsrivier is beautiful.

I arrived on the Bam's Family farm early afternoon. 

It's warm and dry and there is so much space.

Ah, farm life. Stray cats, chickens, peacocks, cows, vineyards. So beautiful.

I'm greeted warmly, and then we set of on the families vast space and play.

The kids are super excited and chatter away endlessly as they don't get that many visitors.

So cute. The twins and their brother play and run and tell stories.

It's wonderland. Farm life.

Enjoy.
