The Carroll family

Let's start this photo session with a group hug.



You've already met the Carroll family. I've written lovingly about them here and here. These people are sunshine in my life.



Quinn is growing out of baby stage. He and Eva are starting to form their solid friendship bonds. Eva chats to him, sings to him, shows him the actions to songs. Quinn looks at her adoringly.





Oh Eva, you really are going to change the world some day.







Quinn is wearing his daddy's shirt. It was Nick's when he was a bub. There's a photo of Nick wearing it when he was just a it older than Quinn. The similarities in the way they look is remarkable.







Sarah gets me. She's the one I send text messages to when the kids are pushing my limits (and are usually being too loud for me to be able to talk on the phone). She never says to me that they're just kids being kids. She knows that wouldn't help me. Instead she listens, sympathises in all the right places, and helps my find laugher in the madness.







I love this moment between Eva and Sarah so much it kinda hurts in my chest.





My love to you all. Even though I'm far away, I think of you often. Kiss the kids for me.
