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 27: Piazza Italia

Daniel has wanted to be an Italian chef when he grows up for quite some time, so to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, he asked if we could go to an authentic Italian restaurant. We googled "authentic Italian restaurant Portland OR" and discovered Piazza Italia in the Pearl District. The atmosphere was great, the waiters spoke Italian, we were serenaded by an accordion player in Italian, there were soccer jerseys all over the ceiling and the food was amazing, so the birthday boy and his family were all very happy.
