You may have seen this photo from Afghanistan. Taken in December, it received a Pulitzer prize.
What you may NOT have known is the story behind the image OR the ongoing tale of the girl in the green dress. If your day might be enlarged by considering the life of a young Afghan girl working to put life back together after a suicide bomber blew it apart, this short read awaits.
How does one summarize a whole year? Well, he might post twelve photos from twelve months and leave it at that.
And he might even ask his two-year-old to write the captions.

Our little girl is one!
A year’s worth of photos have claimed their lot of space on our computer. A quick scan through brought more than a few favourites. Can a Dad who’s taken with his daughter post a dozen or so on his blog?
I suspect so.
Happy birthday, my little girl!
We’ll never forget the first time we met you.
You’re the sweetest little thing…
Most of the time.
I love the way you look at me…
And at yourself.
I love the way you look in Photo Booth too.
You strike your Mom and me as the sweetest thing we’ve ever known.
Your first trip to China was a smashing success!
And you nearly flipped over our favourite Chinese drinks!
Before you sent your Dad off for a month, you helped him pack his bags…
We tried some crazy stunts…
And played in the bath…
In fact, we did so much together that you started to look like your Dad!
We were so excited to see summer come!
And you quickly came to love being outside.
You’ve been helping Dad weed… or just sitting there looking cute.
But for all your cuteness, I have no idea where you get all your goofy faces!
In the past few days, you’ve learned to eat birthday cake…
And brush your 6 little teeth.
I know you’ll keep learning everyday as the world slowly opens up before you…
Just make sure you always remember how loved you are, our girl!
That’s the thought-provoking title of this photo from here.
Our daughter got a couriered package in the mail last week. What could someone be sending a 5 five-month old?
In the hopes of coming into some extra travel cash, our entrepreneurial little one is looking for an endorsement deal, but we are looking at Reviews by The Motley Fool for stocks online first. What do you say, Mr. Christie?
And while I’m at it posting pictures, how about a bath shot?
Good night, one and all.
