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 126: In goal

Johnny and Daniel have been playing spring soccer since the beginning of March but, for some reason, I haven't had a picture of them on this blog. The big change this season is that Johnny has become the principal goalkeeper for his team. He has been doing really well and made some terrific saves!

Day 125: At last!

Anna has had a wobbly tooth for a long time now so she was thrilled that it fell out today - the first of her baby teeth to be lost!

Day 123: Teacher Appreciation Lunch

Thankfully the teachers' strike was averted, but this has certainly been a tough year for the wonderful and hardworking teachers of our school district. It was a great pleasure to put on a lunch for the Middle School staff in appreciation of everything they do for our kids.

Day 122: Our piano man

Daniel played at a "National Federation of Music Clubs" music festival today and received the highest rating for his performance. No cameras were allowed during his class but I took this picture while he was practicing this morning.

Day 121: Learning to read

Looks as though we are six for six as a family of book lovers. Noah is learning to read and loves poring over books by himself as much as he enjoys reading with one of us.
