365: Day 91- My Birthday!

4/1/14: I had a really, really fantastic birthday on Tuesday. This year I decided to bring back the "birthday month", so I've already had a couple of birthday dinners with friends. There is nothing like your actual BIRTHDAY, though!

Zoe & Silas were very sweet both the night before and the morning of my birthday. On Monday night Silas told Julia that they needed to buy me a present. She asked what he thought I might like and he replied, "maybe some lotion!".

They also managed to squash Daddy as I was on my way out the door-

At work my co-workers surprised me with delicious birthday cupcakes at lunchtime.

We had a journal club meeting in the afternoon and I arrived to find the room decorated,

complete with party hats and a tiara! Yup, I actually led a paper discussion about infant ERPs wearing a tiara :)

Derek picked me up at 3:00 so we could hang out for a few hours to celebrate. I snapped a picture of his face when he saw me walk out of the building wearing a tiara.

We went to Matt Murphy's for a drink and poutine, where he surprised me with a gorgeous pair of earrings from the Diamond Guild!

This picture doesn't do them justice!

And then we went out for an early sushi dinner.

When we got home Julia and the kids surprised me with a cake and a happy birthday song.

They checked out the party hats I brought home from work and we got a family photo.

And lest we forget what birthdays are all about... Here is my birth photo, weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs, 5 oz. I came 10 days late and my mom was in labor for 36 hours!

HAPPY 39th 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!
