“Santiago” for Last on the Card, February, 2026

8 Replies

Santiago (4 years old) came to my house to help his folks deliver an invitation for their church wedding. They had a civil marriage 4 or 5 years ago and have been saving up ever since for a church wedding and big reception. He was having lots of fun taking photos of my house. Notice the tongue!

And here is more of the story, added the next day:

Here are photos taken by budding photographer Santiago, sent to me this morning by his dad, along with a photo of him taken by his dad after they left my house : https://photos.app.goo.gl/zPH8FMpYFgL668sXA

And here is a photo I took of the happy family. Emilia is holding the beautiful invitation to their wedding.

For Brian’s Last on the Card prompt

      He is 4 years old and so curious. He took amazing photos of little things in the living room, studying everything very closely. I think he has the artistic eye. I’ll get his dad to send me some of the photos Santiago took.

      Brian, I just added to the post. Hope you don’t mind. Had to tell the rest of the story. Perhaps Santiago will join your “Last on the Card” prompt weekly now…ha. As your youngest contributor.

      I loved that, too. He was just so engaged in investigating what to photograph next. He is an interesting child and I love him to bits. Luckily enough, after 2 years of refusing to engage with me at all, let alone agreeing to my holding him, for the past two years he has been very loving and loves coming to my house. He even calls me by name…Senora Judy. The secret? Easter egg hunts every Easter and a Piñata every Xmas.
