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 112: Early birthday celebrations

The children have been planning David's birthday for weeks and were very excited to get him a fire pit, which they felt would benefit the whole family. Tomorrow is the big day but it is going to be very busy, so David opened his gift early and we had a birthday meal today. Johnny and Daniel showed off their newly-acquired fire-building skills and we cooked hot dogs and s'mores in the fire pit in our back yard.
