5th - A Second Childhood --- OaklandWoody

As any parent knows, kids are a gift. One of the gifts I appreciate most (and perhaps my wife the least) is the chance for dad to be a kid all over again. --- Woody

Love this one Woody... feels kind of nostalgic and definitely one to treasure. Alistair

Charlie - I've watched your girls grow so much over the past two years (they seem to be close in age to my boys). Children are the ultimate gift to parents, and for the world, as they represent our _only_ hope for the future.

You know what another great gift is Woody, the gift you give your girls with all these fantastic shots of their youth! They will stay forever young having them around to look at. I wish so many times that one of my parents would have taken a lot more photos and I really wish the ones we have were as wonderful as our digital images. Great shot again Woody!

Nice shot, Woody: I like the composition and the b&w tones with a hint of sepia. So, do you ever join them on the swing?:-)

Funny the shoes and the dress and the obscured face almost make her look a bit grown up.

The relation and trust you have built up will make it hard to be a good disciplinarian in their teens - but enable you to talk to them at their heart when they are in their 20's. Well, that was my finding with my girls. Nothing greater than being a dad at play with the kids. It is truely a gift.

Perfect timing. The b&w treatment, the dress and the shiney shoes give this a timeless feel.
Excellent stuff.
