I think that my life is pretty full normally but with David out of town (indeed, out of state) for the week, I am really being kept busy. I appreciate you, honey! Anyway, this was the only photo I took today, on my cell phone again, while we were waiting for Johnny's guitar lesson to finish. I was complementing Anna on her pony tail, which she did herself this morning. I panicked after the kids left for school at 8:30 am, realizing that I hadn't even brushed her hair, and assumed that she had spent the day looking like a scarecrow. But, to my great relief and pride, when I picked her up from school, she was wearing her hair like this, which she had managed by herself and which survived a whole day of school and a gymnastics class.
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...
