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 210: Sparklers by the River Thames


This was one of those days during which I took so many interesting and different photos, it is incredibly hard to choose just one. We had a fascinating time at the British Museum with my parents, seeing the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, many mummies and all kinds of other objects that featured in the sixth grade Social Studies syllabus I taught last year. We then met up with my dear friend from university, and Daniel's godmother, Carrie, who lives between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. After the sun set, we walked down to the river to see Tower Bridge and the Tower of London lit up. To top the evening, Carrie produced a packet of sparklers to the great joy of the children.
