Day 6 of 365 Days of Pictures

Today I received a new toy.  I have been wanting to move from PC to Mac for a long time, but the cost has always prevented me from transitioning.  After saving and finding a good deal I was finally able to buy a Macbook.  It will be interesting learning the world of Mac after using Windows based computers for over 15 years.  Tonight I have moved all of my docs and stuff to the new laptop.  Tomorrow I will spend the day customizing and making sure I have every thing I need.

Day 5 of 365 Days of Pictures

Today was a day of sewing projects.  Vivian went to Mom's day out so I decided to do a few sewing projects I have been wanting to do but can't with Vivian home.  She loves to watch me do projects but when I am sewing she is constantly trying to get into the needles or push the peddle on the sewing machine.  I think I had a productive day.  I made Vivian another Crayon tote, a set of curtains and a blanket for Vivian.  Here is a picture of the crayont tote and the blanket.

Day 4 of 365 Days of Pictures

What happens when you leave leftover cupcakes from the day before unattended on the kitchen table.  Vivian helps herself to one of course.  What should you expect - a 2 year old no one in the room and cupcakes within reach on the table

Day 3 of 365 Days of Pictures

Today is Anthony's 10th birthday.  I can't believe it has been 10 years.  Time just seems to go by so fast.  I still remember the day he was born.  It was a day full of emotions both good and bad.  I was almost 36 weeks pregnant when my water broke and Anthony was born.  He was 4 weeks 1 day early.  I was so scared when he was born because the labor and delivery was fast and easy.  I thought the worse - that I was going to be going home with out him.  Luckily he was 100% healthy weighing 7lbs 1oz and 19 inches.  I can't imagine how big he would have been at 40 weeks.  I had pre-term labor at 28 weeks and was on bedrest until 35 weeks.  The doctor said this is the reason he was so big at 36 weeks.   He could have possibly gained anoth 1.5-2 pounds if I would have delivered on or around my due date.

Now on to my picture of the day.  Cupcakes for Anthony's birthday

Day 2 of 365 Days of Pictures

Today I got the camera out and Vivian would only let me take a picture of her.  Every time I tried to take a picture of anything except her she would scream "No picture me"  So today's pictures are all of Vivian.  I had numerous pictures to find the one for today.  We had pictures of her looking out the window at the dogs, her coloring, playing with the felt board and of course a crying Vivian.  I picked one of her smiling since this is a rare thing to capture on the camera.  She is a happy child and smiles all the time, but get out the camera and she always has the same look on her face.  She just strares at the camera with no smile.

Day 1 of 365 Days of Pictures

Today I sat around tried to decide what to take a picture of.  This preoject is going to be harder than I thought.  I will need to take a picture of something everyday and sometimes this will require some thought.  I prefer to take pictures when ever the opportunity arises.  This project is going to require me to have my camera with me at all times. 

Today's picture was taken after dinner.  I couldn't think of anything to take a picture of except the kids since we didn't leave the house today.  Now if you know my kids they like to push all of my buttons and after 2 weeks off from school I have no more buttons because the kids have pushed them so much they are broke.  So this picture is how I am winding down tonight after a very long 2 weeks

New Year Goals

I am really lacking in the blogging department.  I guess life just gets in the way and I forget about writing things down.  So now on to my resolution for the new year - a blog a day - How am I going to do this?  I have decided to do a picture a day and write about it.  I have seen many people do this and I thought why not I love taking pictures.  Some people choose to do the same thing but different topics like a recipe a day or a craft a day.  So tomorrow will be my first picture of 2011.
