365: Day 110- Numb


4/20/13: This is how I found them this morning, sitting on Silas' bed reading books to each other.


They played with bubbles on the back deck again today.



I am totally emotionally exhausted. I don't really want to talk to anyone outside of Derek and the kids. I am numb. I fell asleep last night with Silas' favorite stuffed animal, 'nudie bird', after he left it in our bed when we read books. I laid down while the kids napped today and actually fell asleep for an hour, again clutching onto nudie bird.


Cooking is how I deal with stress. On Monday after the bombings I made S&Z a feast of indian-spiced basmati rice and curried chickpeas and cauliflower. I cooked again tonight, this time for healing. We had a comfort meal of homemade Ramen Noodle Soup. Unfortunately Derek is working the entire weekend so it was just me and the kids.


I'm still processing the events of this week. I suspect I will be for awhile...

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!
