Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 15: Happy Birthday Anna!


For the first time this year, it was REALLY hard to choose a picture for today. Anna hosted an English afternoon tea for her delightful friends to celebrate her sixth birthday today. I have great pictures of the girls and their dolls all dressed up; I have arty pictures of teapots and yummy pictures of the treats the boys and I prepared. But I love this photo because I love Anna's unrestrained, unaffected enthusiasm for life. She was thrilled with this gift and she showed it. I love this girl.
