Day 5

Hard to tell, but it's main street Grapevine all lit up at night - so pretty!

Day 4

Something I love to look at and listen to every evening...

Day 3

This is how I found him at school today -- totally out in his little swing.
It occurs to me that all the pics so far have been of James. I didn't intend that, but I kind of like the idea of taking a picture of James (and the girls) every day for a year. I don't think I'm going to do that with this project since it's on the iPod and the quality isn't that great. Maybe next year!

Day 2

Just like his sisters!

Maybe I’ll Use Bullet Points

• We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and day, though it still doesn’t feel like 2012 yet.  Maybe I’m in denial; I will turn 30 this year, after all.
• Last night Matt and I made it all the way to the late hour of 11pm before heading to bed.  :)  I was then visited by my sweet snuggling middle child, who couldn’t sleep for all the illegal fireworks in the area.  I knew that I could put her back to bed fourteen times, or just wait for the fireworks to stop before returning her to her little pillow.  But with all the noise, moving two year old, and snoring husband, I didn’t sleep for the next hour and a half.  But a little after 12:30 most of the noise was over and I sent Natalie back to bed (in Matt’s arms).  Then I got to sleep late, so it was okay.  :)  I dislike midnight fireworks though!
• This morning we missed church so I could make rolls and time them perfectly.  Our church only had one service, or we’d have been able to be at an earlier one.  It feels weird to miss church.  Kind of doesn’t feel like Sunday.
• We went to Uncle Mark’s house for lunch this afternoon – YUMMO!  We brought four dozen rolls and came home with probably a dozen or less.  With only 12 people eating, I’d say they were a hit!  And I’m sure each of our children ate at least three.
• I really enjoyed this post by Kelly’s Korner today, a blog I like to read.  Click over if you're a parent of little girls… or even if you aren’t!  It really resonated. 

Day 1

I saw the idea to do a photo a day for the whole year. The idea isn't new, but it hadn't really appealed to me before. Then one of my FB friends posted her first pic today and it occurred to me it would be fun to do a photo from the iPod touch every day. And I think I'm going to do it with my Blogger app. And I'll give each one the same tag so I can look at them all together.

This is the Last Post of 2011

Well, I’m sitting here on New Year’s Eve, feeling all reflective.  2011 was a great year for me.  Nothing much “big” happened, just adjusting to life with three amazing kiddos.

I didn’t take any pictures today (what?!), but I did make a new desktop background for my computer.  The old one had pictures from this summer on it.  I love opening up the computer and seeing my sweet family (not that I can’t look around and actually see my sweet family any time I want to.)  :)

So here’s my desktop background:

You should be able to click on it to make it larger.  It makes me smile!

Happy New Year to you all!
