Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
Fast! It’s hard to believe that less than a month ago, the Butternut squash and cucumbers were JUST coming up. We are very much looking forward to, not only, squash and cucumbers, but also three different types (Beef, Roma, and Cherry) of fresh tomatoes.

Andy is 41 today! This year was decidedly more low key than last year. The family went to Little Mate’s Cove for some fun in the sun followed by dinner with Jeremy. Nothing fancy, but relaxed and fun. Happy Birthday to our wonderful husband and Daddy! We love you!
I get to daycare to pick up the kids today. Both are still asleep from a long, exhausting day at the sprayground and swim lessons. Laura’s eyes open as I walk up to her cot. She sees me and pulls her blanket over her head. I hear her say, “Maybe if I put my blanket over my head, Mommy won’t be there.”
Grandpa Ken and Grandma Marilyn got Laura a camera for her birthday. She is very excited because she truly LOVES taking pictures with our camera. The camera is just a small, pink camera that cost about $25. It doesn’t take the best pictures and it has no flash, but it fits her hands well and it works! It also does have a little screen so she can see what she’s snapping a picture of. She learning to hold the camera still and aim. She’s learning to line up what she wants to take a picture of and she’s also learning to keep her fingers out of the line of sight. So far, she’s very much enjoying it. If she still loves it in a few months, maybe Santa can bring her a bit better camera.

Laura had to get her five-year immunizations today. Four were required, so that meant three shots as two of those are combined. We also decided to do the Hepatitis A vaccine, which is not required at the moment but is most likely coming. Laura did cry, but she was a trooper. They even gave her four stickers instead of the normal two.
Laura requested that Daddy read a story from her new Toy Story collection that she received for her birthday. John decided he wanted to listen too.
It’s been just over six months since I started my Project 365 – My Way. I really thought when I started this that it wouldn’t amount to much other than a month or so of posts and then I would slowly stop posting. I’m proud to say that I haven’t missed one day! Yes, I’m aware that I cheat and don’t post every single day, but with the beauty of the Internet, I can publish a day or two later and date it for the day it actually happened. My point is that I’m still going and I really LOVE it! These posts hold so many memories that I would so easily forget otherwise….like the first time I heard John count to five or Laura’s complete excitement over her Kindergarten backpack. It’s such a great experience – so much so, that I’ve already decided that I’ll continue this for the years to come and I’m in the middle of making a photo book on Shutterfly documenting everything you read every day on my blog. So, Jill (and indirectly Colleen!), thanks SO much for talking it up so much! I appreciate it more than you both know!
