Birthday Love

Oh boy, do I love my birthday! I've managed to post about it every year since I started the blog- read what we were up to in 2010 and 2011.

This year I'm stretching out the birthday love over far more weeks than a non-significant bday of 37 years deserves. I kicked off the celebration last weekend with Wendy at Union St Bar & Grill in Newton. This weekend I met up with Teresa at Kiku Yama in Dedham. I've never eaten at a Japanese steakhouse before. It was quite the show (and delicious too)!

 

And the fun has just started! This Thursday I'm meeting Andee for tapas, the 7th is dinner with Iris, and on the 14th I'm meeting up with all the twin moms from the hospital (along with a few honorary attendees). Derek and I will finally get to celebrate by going out on April 22nd when my mom is in town. My actual birthday is April Fool's Day, a week from today, so we'll also celebrate as a family by going to the zoo or aquarium.

I was dressed up to go out on Saturday night and decided to try and take a new FB profile picture. I love my current pic, but it's 3 years old now. This is what I came up with, self-portrait style...


The problem, however, is that when this serious picture is posted next to all of my status updates, it looks like I'm scowling at whatever I've just written. I like the picture, though, so thought I'd share it here instead :-)

Happy birthday to me!

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!
