One thing I really love about Atlanta is some of the parks we have. Now (as a small aside), I have been to Chicago, Nashville, Denver and Seattle and I realize many cities are laid out with parks being more of a focal part of the city. Atlanta has beautiful parks but most of them are NOT obvious.. they are all an “Easter egg hunt”. “I know that park is here somewhere. Oh, there it is around three turns and up on the hill.” It really is an odd thing but once you find them… they are really lovely. This is certainly one of those lovely parks that is just hidden from most of the world!

It was great to see this family again. It had been a year and both of the boys grew so much from last year.

Colin, the older child, was just about the same age as Hayden when I first photographed him. Now Colin is helping (a LITTLE) with his younger brother and trying to do most everything “on his own”. How well I remember that stage in my home with my kids. Shwew- it takes a lot of patience to parent that age child.

Hayden has his own agenda and he is none to worried about what anyone else is up to. He is walking now and he needs to get from one place to another in a timely manner. So, if you see Hayden coming, you best get out of his way.

Most of all, these boys love one another and they are learning how to take on the world, together.
