My project 365

I've followed a number of people as they venture through project 365. Typically the essence of the project is to capture a moment from everyday through the camera lense. Well, I am going to tackle my own project 365; however the focus of my project is going to be scrapbooking one 2-page layout per day. I am going completely digital with Mya's scrapbook. I hope to get at least 1 year done for each of my children and then I may move onto our travel scrapbook, but stick with blog books for the remainder. I tend to do an adequate job keeping up with our highlights through the blog and there are a number of companies that will print the blog into a photo book. The challenging part is that our book is already 748 pages!  I'll obviously be splitting it up into a book for each year, but Wow. That is a lot of writing and pictures! I have to remind myself of this accomplishment as I find myself extremely frustrated when I look at all of Mya's pictures that I have yet to scrapbook or Claire's pages lying loose. Sadly, the images are too large for me to share them with you...

Good for you! I am so far behind in scrapbooking that I know I will have to go digital for Conor.

I was going to do the traditional 365 this year as it's his first year (and my parents request daily photos) so I will help you keep on task if you help me :)

We got your Christmas card and I have to say your girls get cuter every year! We are going to be sending out our birth announcements in the next few weeks so please let me know how to get one to you :)

Sounds great, Erin. I do check your blog daily for new pics and updates. You are doing awesome. Getting in the habit is the hardest part, but it is definitely easier doing it daily and keeping up vs. playing catch up.

I have a baby/momma gift in the works for you. Just have to get it done. Hopefully it will arrive before Conor is 1!

I'll email you our address.
Thanks!

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
