Day 89 & Day 90

Day 89 Thumbs Up!

Day 90- Signs of Spring.

This beautiful piece of new furniture is a small piece of church history. Our church has been growing! We recently switched over to a padded chair that allows us to seat more people. No other churches were in need of pews so the church gave away all the old pews to anyone in the church who wanted one. Of course the pews were much longer than this and wouldn't fit in a house really so some of them were cut up and resized. We were able to get a hold of one of the last ones and now we have a piece of church at home. I was thinking the other day about all the prayers, sermons, hymns and praise songs that are embedded in the worn out pew.

Its Ballet Monday! I simply cannot resist the amazing natural lighting of the dance studio, or the beautiful ballerinas! So every Monday I take my camera with me to dance class and Peach never tires of an opportunity to pose.



I also have included a bonus picture for today! It is Monday after all.

Okay hitting a bit of bump, dip and or pothole in the road but really forced myself to at least catch a quick picture tonight just to force myself to stay on a roll. We had Logan spend the night tonight!

Signs of spring arrived in the beautiful spring boquett Aaron sent me today just because. Spring however isn't quite ready to arrive as we had a fresh blanket of snow this morning.

Caleb at the piano this evening. I just the love the way he plays, he has a beautiful touch on the keys and is really quite gifted. I can always tell when he is playing even if I'm not in the room.

Well we bought an ipad with some of our tax return money. We debated its usefulness for a long time and aside from the iphones the ipad is our first foray into the Mac world as were PC people. We have had alot of fun playing with this "toy" and it is especially useful when wanting to look up things on google at any moment. Case in point the meaning of the word "knickerbocker glory" which we read this evening together in the Bloomsbury Press edition of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. I'll let you google that one on your own!

Took a great walk in the woods today, but Spring is definitely here as everything was melting and muddy.

77/365 & 78/365

I must confess both of these pictures are from day 77. We had a wonderful lunch with my friend Natalie
Oh my goodness, Natalie and I talked non stop about everything from crafts, to husbands work schedules to raising kiddo's. Natalie has two boys that are close to Eli and Caleb's age and sweet little girl whom Peach just adores. Here the girls are having a tea party

75 and 76/375

This week has been hard on the Project! After spring break classes really start ramping up with the finish of mid-terms and then the sprint to the finish. So here are two quick picks from days 75 and 76.
I really want to get out and practice with my camera and lenses but there just aren't enough hours in the day! I'm really looking towards the end of April when classes will be done!

Day 75-Peach begged me to put rollers in her hair and let her sleep with underwear on her head. Clean underwear of course but it's what my Grandma Greta used to do, then I did as a little girl and Peach just gets a huge quick of wearing her panties to bed. Not to mention she is so like her Great Grandma Greta!


Day 76- Saint Patties day treats after a yummy shepherds pie for dinner.

74-365

After puking no less than twenty times today Caleb finally perked up by about 6 pm. At least the snowy day was a good excuse to stay in our cozy house. He is feeling much, much better and I am crossing my fingers and toes that no one else gets sick.

Day 71.......Stuffing a Monkey

Day 73.........Eye appointments today, no one needs glasses!

71/365

We awoke this morning to a fresh blanket of snow. By noon the snow was gone but I was lucky to run out and catch a few pictures.

A chilly kitty footprint







This gnome is supposed to be on his way to a certain traveling friend of mine, but somehow he just isn't ready to leave yet.

First Day of Spring Break-technically Thursday was the first day but we had to go to conferences so today was the first day we didn't have to go, do or be anywhere. The weather was so nice we went for a bike ride.

Movie night, the boys wanted to watch a guy movie so my buddy and I are watching a chick flick in bed. Peach was so comfy she fell asleep.

Day 68

I keep buying myself spring flowers in the hopes that spring will come quickly. These daffodils were a steal at only one dollar for a bunch of ten.

Day 67

The fifth grade marble run, finished in two nights. Almost all done by Eli with help from Dad for the angles and such.

Days 61-66

Big Update! Days 61-66

Day 66: Back to normal, on the bubble, under the dome, Home Sweet Home. We had a blast in Anchorage it was so good to get off the island for a few days.



Day 65: Aaron spoiled me with a new lens this weekend. A gorgeous 1.4 55mm and it has fabulous bokah. We went to a cute little baker and I tried it out. I also had a champagne cupcake with strawberry butter cream frosting that was so yummy!


Day 64: The ceremonial start of the Iditarod in downtown Anchorage was a blast! We haven't been since we lived in Anchorage so it was fun to show the kids what I grew up doing.


Day 63: Fur Rondy Rides- If you think rides at 32 degree in rain and wind are cold try a stiff inlet breeze at a balmy 12 degree's BRRR!


62: Spelling Bee Day! This day really deserves its own post so I will only put up a quickie 365 pic. Eli was the BEST and CUTEST speller there.


Day 61: the Snow City Royal is pomegranate juice with champagne and it is so yummy I can't wait to make one at home. Just to be fair this was after 10 am.

Day 60-Two months down!

One last study session before heading off to the Bee in Anchorage tomorrow. The Bee is on Thursday so we will have a day to chill before the actual Bee.
