Photo-A-Day

I have been taking pictures every day for my photo-a-day challenge in January (okay, almost every day; I did a little catch up today from the weekend).  I keep them in a folder, and I need to go ahead and blog the first {almost half!} of January.

January 1: Today
This really could have been of anything!  We went to my grandma’s house, and James grabbed the toy camera she has.  He kept coming to me and saying he was taking a picture of the Christmas tree.  I have NO IDEA where that came from.  :)

January 2: Something new
I ordered Joanna several new long sleeved tops from the Children’s Place.  They were a very very good price with free shipping.  I couldn’t pass ‘em up, and they’ve been very handy!

January 3: Heart
This sweet girl IS part of my heart, but you’ll also notice she has hearts on her pants.

January 4: The view from here
We played at Lisa’s one day – future girl band right here!

January 5: Movement
Of course I took a picture of my Natalie twirling!

January 6: Mine
I pulled this guy out of the girls’ closet when I was cleaning out.  He was in my Easter basket from my dad one of the Easters not too long after my parents got divorced.  He was part of the several animals I carried around a lot for many years.  I took some pictures of him because his foot is all torn up and I intended to throw him out.  He was absconded with before I could do that though.  :)

January 8: Something beginning with “T”
Natalie’s toes!

January 7: Street
This is one I kept forgetting to take, so I finally just went outside one night.  I was too lazy to set up my {really crappy awful} tripod, so I held as still as I could with the shutter open for like a second and half.  You can see it’s a bit blurry, but I think I did okay!

January 9: Paper
Natalie’s birthday tree!

January 10: One o’clock
I had to set a timer for this one!  The big kids were all at school so I had a chance to do some crafts.  Laura was home, but she isn’t mobile enough or tall enough to mess with my table so I could leave my stuff up for a few hours.  She was sleeping at 1:00, and I was making a banner.

January 11: Water
Even though I’m sure there have been plenty of times I could have shot some water over the last few rainy days, I went in to where the kids where having a bath and took this picture just now.  :)

January 12: Surprise
I couldn’t quite manage to wrap Natalie’s present on her birthday, so we gave it to her the next day – surprise!

January 13: Circle
That would be my wedding band.  You can see the little line on my finger where I wear it.

January 14: Something yellow
I was holding Laura, working on catching up on my pictures.  I told her “I need to find something yellow for today.”  She told me “Hey Miss Jessica, I’m wearing yellow.”  {Okay, she doesn’t really talk, but you get my drift.}  She was a good little model for me!
