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 227: Old friends




We met our dear friends, the Mutschlers, when we first moved to Portland in January 2004. Their son Nick is just a few months older than Johnny and the two boys swiftly became best friends. Nick and his family moved to California and then to Indiana a few years later and we miss them all very much. So we are thrilled to spend some time with them in Chicago on this trip. We met up with them today and the two friends were reunited. Here they are, wading in Lake Michigan at sunset.
