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 137: Election Day

Well, it is 11:10 pm and I had assumed I would be reporting on the results of the election today. However, the results have not yet been announced. The unofficial numbers released an hour ago showed our "Yes" campaign a nail-biting 17 votes ahead. In Oregon, all votes are by mail - but David likes to drop his ballot off at the library and he always takes the kids with him and gives them a civics lesson.

    Yes, all elections here in Oregon are vote by mail. Many people drop their ballots off at the library in the last few days before election day; others mail their ballots. The system seems to work well I think - even though we are currently losing our election by two votes! Loved the snake skin picture - impressed by the way you encouraged your daughter to overcome her fears!
