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 69: Fort Vancouver

We have lived in Portland for eight years and are embarrassed to say that this was our first visit to Fort Vancouver, a National Historic site barely fifteen minutes from our house. David's parents are staying with us, the children all had a day off school, and the sun was shining - it was a perfect day for a new adventure. The whole day was wonderful, including a delicious lunch in a 150 year old log cabin, but one of the highlights was definitely seeing the blacksmiths at work.
