Crazy Month

So I updated this a month ago saying I was going to attempt my picture of the day, and then crazy things happened! Dave started a new job, got extremely sick and was down literally for almost 3 weeks. Then just when we think he is getting better we find out that he has a blood clot in his leg, after several different doctors and a trip to the vein center we have since learned it is clot and is from a vericose vein in his leg. He is doing much better now that we know how to treat it and what to watch for. So my lack of posting was due to taking care of my sick husband, trips to the doctors, emergency room, ultrasound lab and back to a specialized doctor. I'm just glad to see that he is finally recovering and feeling much better. Having a sick husband home is no fun! So I didn't take hardly any pictures last month during the whole ordeal. If you can imagine there would of been lots of him laying on the couch, moving from there to our room and back again! All the while juggling the kids around trying to keep them away from him in fear they might get sick, after a week we determined no one else was getting it. I will say lucky on that part, I can't imagine a house full of sick kids too! We are excited for some fresh spring air, and a chance to get out of the house! Hopefully this month I will have more exciting pictures to post, Easter, spring break and school performances all coming up!

Bathtime!

Shelbie loves bathtime, especially when she gets our big deluxe bathtub to herself. I captured some fun pictures this day of her playing, her current fascination turn the water on and off and drink from it while in the tub! Anyhow, I love how this photo turned out, its probably one of my favorites of her right now, captures her personality perfectly!

Afternoon Activity Coloring!

So I am horrible at updating this blog, I will admit life is just to busy for me to find time to sit down and update this blog with long posts. So instead I have been thinking of something that would make things easier but still highlight the little things that matter most! To me right now that is everyday life, its doesn't matter how big or small the days activities are its remembering those moments is what our life is really about.

So I saw an idea several years ago that involved 365 days, I started it last year and well with moving it just got to complicated. So I decided to try again this year. I didn't worry about when I started it, just that it is 365 days. So you will notice I didn't start this when most people did Jan 1st. And I am promising right now that I don't anticipate a picture every single day. There are just days when I don't pull out my camera or nothing significant happens saying "Cheese, take a picture". And then other days that make up for it with more than one picture.

With that being said, here is todays picture of the day! My mid-morning activity with Brayden and Shelbie after getting Maggie off to school and before naptime! Coloring! They are both enjoying little art projects and my hope was to keep them occupied for a minute so I could look at some info. on the computer. Hmmm, lets just say this was approx. 5 minutes and then it was onto the next thing. Shelbie is so funny though, in almost every shot I took she is sticking out her tongue, so into her coloring! Brayden eventually gave up on the scissors and found that tearing was much more fun!
