Project 365 - Day 89

My strong man was moving furniture today......

 ....then he needed a rest

Project 365 - Day 86-88

Day 86....My mom made this super cool puppet stage that hangs from a door frame.  Landry loved entertaining us

Day 87....Landry's dollhouse family when for a ride in the "boat", A.K.A. mommy's leaf-shaped dish

Day 88 - Landry was inspired by the "princesses" on Dancing With The Stars, so she strapped on a princess dress and went to dancing herself

Day88.....Eli has started walking a lot....

......resulting in his first busted nose :(

Project 355 - Day 85

It was a beautiful day for a shoot with this beautiful family

Project 365 - Day 84

Eli had a friend over today...

Project 355 - Day 83

Today, my kids found a new favorite "hang-out".....

....we had a practice Easter egg hunt.  Do you see Landry hunting?......

....and apparently Landry got a weather report stating a cold front was coming through.  I missed that one.

Project 355 - Day 82

Eli had to get a shot in his big boy arm, and his other big boy arm, and his big boy thigh today.  I dread days like today.  

Speaking of big boy, there is no better way to describe my Eli.  He is currently in the 93rd percentile in weight (26 lb, 9 oz), 70th percentile in height (30 inches), and 90th percentile in head.  More to Love!!!!!

No Pictures, Just Videos

It's been a while since I posted a video.  I have been a little consumed with my 365 Project.  If I'm being honest, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the project.  I love it because it stretches me and forces me to think creatively.  I hate it, because I am obligated to post a picture everyday (well almost everyday).  I've kind of missed my random blogging, which has been taken up with the 365 project.  I have a friend who take "365ish" pictures, meaning they are photojournalistic in style, but she doesn't feel pressured to take a picture everyday.  I'm thinking that is what I will do next year.  Anyway, enough with my rambling. Here are a couple of fun videos:

Project 355 - Day 77 - Day 81

I know I have not been on top of this project like I was at the beginning, but I have been SO busy.  Most days I feel I am barely holding my head above water, but I'm making it.  And I have made it a priority to take at least on picture a day, but some days I am not able to get them loaded and posted.  So here are a couple of days worth of pictures.  Enoy

Day 77 - Landry was introduced to color pencils.  She was very impressed

Day 78-Eli is leaning how to throw a nice big fit.  I got shots of him from the back and the front.

Day 79 - I had a "Fancy Pants " special on Saturday.  Here is just a taste of what shot

Day 80 - Landry made her modeling debut.  A friend of mine makes clothes and she asked if Landry could model it :)

Day 81 - Landry filled up her sticker chart, so she got a prize.  The prize evoked instant silliness and a red tongue

Project 355 - Day 76

This is Eli and Cory's new thing. They bond over a bowl of cereal. When Eli sees Cory with the bowl, he comes crawling

 It started with one pink bunny, then we got an extra in case, then we got a new one cause the others were ratty, then I found one at a yard sale, and my mom found one at a yard sale, and one was handed down. Now this is how she gets out of bed every morning. 

Nothing better than eating ice cream and watching Strawberry Shortcake with a friend

 They're tickled

Project 355 - Day 74

Look who I got to photograph today.  Ahhh!  There is nothing like a sweet baby girl!

Project 355 - Day 75

Eli LOOOVES to clap.  Anytime he hears a beat or hears music, he is clapping.  He claps when he is eating or when he is playing.  He just loves it.  It also helps  us get through long car rides.  I sing, he claps

Project 355 - Day 73

Apparently fancy footwear is required for the potty.....

And Eli learned a new trick today.  He didn't make it all the way up by himself, but he came VERY close.

Catching Up - Project 355, Days 69-72

Day 69 was Day 2 of our Day Camp

"Get me Mama!"

Day 70 - We traveled to Singer to visit with family.  Landry had fun.....

Day 71- My brother and sister-in-law are expecting a baby girl in about 8 weeks.  Look how cute and happy they are

Eli and Atticus were born only 10 days apart.  They finally got to meet and bonded immediately

This is Aunt Debbie with her newest grandbaby, Shiloh

Day 72 - And this picture needs no explanation

Project 355 - Day 68

Today was the first day of a day camp we are putting on for our community.....

Face Painting was a big hit.  This little girl is actually happy.  She is just trying to be very still.  I was amazed by her eyes.

and Eli is being a ladies' man, as usual

Project 355 - Day 67

Oh, how I love those short, stubby fingers!

Project 355 - Day 66

My big, one-year-old, little boy won't be able to sit on my lap forever.  I'm soaking it up while I can.

Project 355 - Day 65

Were were going to have Eli's birthday party on Saturday, but he got sick :(  So we postponed it to Sunday, which turned out to be a MUCH nicer day anyway.
