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 55: Yes, it does snow in Portland!

And this is all it takes to have a snow day and for all the schools in the city to close. This was our back yard at 7:30 am - it was all melted by noon and then we had more snow showers this afternoon. The kids and I had a wonderful day: playing in the snow, board games, baking, an extended read-aloud by the fire and a movie night. Oh and Daniel made his second stop motion lego animation, which turned out even better than the first. Wish these snow days happened more often...
