A new year and my underachiever project

Last year I tried to do a 365 photo project but I lost steam at about photo 97. It was just one more thing in my daily list of things to do some days.  This year, I am going easy on myself.  I still need to improve (A LOT) on my photography so this year, I am going to attempt to post one photo per week.  I am not going to stress if the picture is not perfect.  Part of this is about learning and part is about capturing family memories.

In fact, this first shot is a little fuzzy but it was such a sweet moment between Kate and Harry.  We just got our gas logs installed and they were cuddling in front of the fire.

He won the game!
It was the last inning of a tie game and Harry scored the winning run. His teammates rushed out from the dugout and picked him up. I got tears in my eyes!

They all wanted in

We did not have baseball or Judo or anything today after school.  So, we were hanging out in the living room and Will was reading. I wanted to get a shot for the 365 but they all got silly and wanted a picture.....

Like Mother, like son

I am not using those photos for the 365 but I wanted to remember what a little camera ham she was being!

Meanwhile, Harry wanted his picture taken too...


Hey Mom take my picture!

Just like Will

Kate saw her big brother leave for school with a backpack..so she NEEDED a backpack to wear to pre-school. Contents: pretend food from her play kitchen, lipgloss and her lovey (which I promptly removed).

Silly peanuts!

Dailies

The 365 is hanging by  thread.  I need to get back on track and take a shot each day.  The days have been so busy with baseball games and practices nearly everyday, school decisions for Will, summer camp registrations, visitors etc.

I use my camera every single day but I am not really focusing on this project on the last week or 2.  I am going to get MUCH better.  Anyway, here is what I have for the last  several days.


Take time to stop and smell the roses...

YIKES!

Somehow...I have fallen woefully behind in posting my 365 photos.  I take them everyday and post them to flickr but I have been forgetting to get over here.

The men I love...

two of them anyway....


My love

{58/365}
He rarely lets me take his photo. This was after he cooked us a great Sunday breakfast. I am so lucky to have him. He is an amazing husband and father! Taken with my 85 mm on manual.
A rare treat
{59/365}
Since he is allergic to wheat, gluten, dairy and soy...he does not often have cookies. We found these GFCF cookies and he loves them.
