Now

Today is my 36th birthday! When I asked Zoe to pick out a book for us to read before nap, she came back with "Dr. Seuss's Happy Birthday Book"!!!




Last year I wrote about how much I love birthdays. This year I'm taking note of all the sights-smells-sounds-feels of right now. If only I could put it in a bottle...



little mouths making raspberries
Zoe's arms wrapped around my leg giving me a hug as she passes by
coffee
shrieks of excitement at anything and everything
outside
kisses on the lips
oatmeal with bananas
splish splash in the bath
vicks vapo-rub
the chirp that Zoe makes when she wants a bite of whatever Daddy is eating
Silas' arms wrapped around my neck
footie pj's
Zoe pulling her shirt up because she loves her belly
pitter-patter pitter-patter
'da'
twin hugs
sharing
toy stealing
laughter, laughter and more laughter
shake-shake-shake-shake-shake-shake-shake
heads snuggled on shoulders

Our house is bursting with love and I am so very blessed.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!

The Blog Book is Here!!!

My friend, Tom, told me about a website where you can order a bound copy of your blog. I've had it on my radar for awhile, but I finally just got around to making a book of the first year of entries. It starts with 'Icing on the Cake' , the last entry before they were born, and it ends with Halloween . It turned out better than I could have imagined! I cried when I opened it... One hundred ninety-four pages of love, photos, stories, and milestones!
