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 228: Birthday in Chicago




Here we are at the most eastern point of our road trip, celebrating Johnny's twelfth birthday in Chicago. We had donuts for breakfast, walked along the shore of Lake Michigan, window-shopped at the Lego store, picnicked in Lincoln Park, enjoyed the Lincoln Park zoo and a great independent book store, visited with a group of incredibly friendly Chicago firefighters, and had dinner at a restaurant, famous for their exceptionally rude staff. Johnny thought the day was amazing!
