Let’s Do 52! Daddy

I’ll admit, some weeks I have to purposely take a picture for this project. It’s not that I don’t take a lot of pictures, I do. It’s just that not all of them tell the story I’m trying to tell here. Well we just got back from Disney World....

Let’s Do 52! Home

Seven years ago today, A and I moved into this house. So clearly I remember that day. We signed the closing papers and went straight to Home Depot to pick up our blinds and paint. We started moving in immediately. Our first house! What an exciting day! Maybe buying...

Let’s Do 52! Motion

My baby girl. My long awaited baby girl. How can she really be 6 1/2 months old already?How can she really be moving, scooting, rolling and yes even a bit of crawling (backwards) trying to explore every new thing she can get her hands on? Wasn’t I just pregnant?...

Let’s Do 52! Taking Chances

I had a hard time selecting a picture this week but what it came down to was this one and one of Andrew playing violin at his recital. Thankfully both captured the idea I was looking for– you’ve gotta take risks. You’ve gotta put yourself out there and do...

Let’s Do 52! Understanding

After months of self initiated practice of letter sounds I decided it was time to take the plunge and try a reading lesson with Andrew. Despite the fact that I am endlessly teaching my kids stuff, I don’t typically do any sort of formal instruction. But, I figured it...

Let’s Do 52! Carefree

Silly me for planning a trip to Disney later in the year. Silly me because the best thing on the planet it already in our house, in our bathroom to be exact. In what was really my own effort to get the kids to bed more quickly one night,...

Let’s Do 52! Love

The other day, the four of us arrived home. Allison was sleeping in her carseat and Andrew went immediately to start playing with some toys. A and I went upstairs to put things away. Now let me be clear, I trust Andrew to be alone with his sister. No...

Let’s Do 52! Novelty

We learned the hard way that Andrew (kids in general) need a lot of prep when a parent is traveling. About a year ago, we had a string of a few months where our good sleeper started waking multiple times a night and was constantly on edge and cranky...

Let’s Do 52! Good-byes

I look at this picture and admittedly the quality is pretty poor. But I think about this picture from everything else but a photographic stand point and it’s one of my favorites. There I was, in one of the most beautiful, spiritual, and ancient cities in the world and...

Let’s Do 52! Week 4

Well I intended this picture to be about Allison and to document her first taste of solid foods. In a way it does accomplish that. Unlike Andrew on his first solid food adventure, she did not cry or act surprised or worried. Instead she just accepted the sweet potatoes...
