Harper Cake
Last year when Harper was born Beth's daughter, Meredith, thought that Harper's middle name was "Cake" instead of "Kate" the first time she heard it. So I just wanted to show Meredith that Harper OFFICIALLY earned her nickname last night. : )





The funniest thing was that she wouldn't even touch the cake for a few minutes after we gave it to her. Normally she dives into her food (she looooooves to eat) so this was totally out of character for her! But eventually she dug into it and made a grand ol' mess. Which is what one is supposed to do on their first birthday, right?

Thank you for all the well-wishes yesterday!
Remember when I said that she'd still take 2 naps? Hahaha. That didn't happen.
But she did let me take a few birthday portraits, and here's one to share with you:

    Oh oh oh! It is the red polka dot dress! You KNOW we own that too (grin) - in fact we are due to wear it tommorrow for family portraits!
    Love that Cake...I mean Kate! (The west asheville Kate has also often been confused among the younger set for a sweet confectionary delight as well..)
    TFS!

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
    • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
