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!

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

Claire Crawling

Claire is finally crawling. We saw her move forward a bit on Saturday for the first time, but she didn't last long enough to capture it on video. She finally crawled for a bit longer today. She isn't going very far, but is great to have achieved this incredible milestone. Now Harvest better watch out!
