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 75: Ballet performance


At the end of each term, Anna's ballet class puts on a performance for parents and friends. This sequence was set to some beautiful music that brought tears to my eyes. I also feel a little emotional because Anna is going to switch from ballet to gymnastics after Spring Break next week. It is not as though I had imagined she would do ballet forever (although, of course, she could always come back to it) but I sense that this may be the end of the road for Anna as far as ballet is concerned. It has been a very enjoyable activity for her for the last three years and I am thankful for her wonderful teacher, the lovely Miss Erika.
