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 21: Ice Cream Sundaes


These two have been friends since birth and one of life's great pleasures is to eavesdrop on their adorable conversations. Anna's birthday dolls' tea party seemed more suited to girls only, so we planned this special treat for the two of them as a late birthday celebration. I took them to Fairleys, a local old-fashioned pharmacy and soda fountain, which is soon to celebrate its centenary and serves wonderful sundaes (as well as all kinds of other treats). They sat on the old swivel stools, ate their ice cream at the worn counter and planned a bike ride along the river for when the rain finally stops.
