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 51: Snow hike

Presidents' Day, and our annual snow hike at Trillium Lake - one of my favorite days of the year. We invited two other families this year and there were 16 of us all together: 5 adults, ten children and our dog. We were a lively, noisy group - there were lots of snow ball fights amongst the kids all along the 4.5 mile hike - but there were moments when the peacefulness and serenity of our winter surroundings took my breath away.
