quarrelsome
Our drive to Cole's school in the morning is around 15 minutes each day. Some drives are passed pleasantly, but most are sort of loud and screechy. Today, while following a car that had "honk 4 world peace" written on its back windshield, Cole and Harper were arguing about whether or not Harper had seen a puppy dog. Exasperated, I decreed that they couldn't speak to each other anymore. Shortly thereafter, almost spontaneously, it seemed, they both started singing to themselves. Harper was, of course, singing about the mythical puppy dog, while Cole was singing a song about how Harper couldn't possibly have seen a puppy dog and Mommy and Daddy and Cole thought she was crazy. But at least they weren't yelling. Lesson learned: if you're going to argue pleasantly, do it in song.

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!
