Well another birthday has passed, remarkably only as it was truly awful. Waking up to a stomach flu at 1am and not going back to sleep until 5am doesn't start your day off exactly right. Thankfully, it was a weekend and James was my hero and took over for childcare in the morning. My fever broke in the afternoon and I started to feel like a somewhat like a person again that evening. However, the ickyness lingered into the week enough that I did not start out my Project 365 as quickly as I intended.
The idea behind Project 365 is to take one picture a day for a year... 365 days. I found out about this photo idea from my friend Katy's blog earlier this year, but too late to start it for this calendar year. The inspiration struck to modify the 'year' to be my age-year. In general, this idea intrigued me as this year will have lots of change, and opportunities for me to be creative and capture this unique point in my life. Oh, and if I like a photo James took better than mine, I'm going to feel free to subsititute it in --- man and wife being 'one flesh' applies to photography too right?
Unfortunately, with my post-sicky yuckyness I didn't actually start the project until 2 days after my birthday. I thought about my photo, and planned it out, but didn't have the energy to execute. I have since forgiven myself (taken a mulligan, for you golfers out there), and now plan to forge ahead and be 'honest' about the rest of the photos. On the bar to the left you can find a slide show of my photos, obviously growing as time goes on. Here is a link to the Picasa Web Album if you'd like to read any of the captions that go along with the photos.
Next weekend we are off to Reims, France (in the Champange District of France) to stay at a guest house in a small Champange House and taste champange. I will update on our first traveling with 2 munchins and all the bubbly details of our trip. Here's the link to where we are staying, if you want a sneak peak: Champagne Mont d'Hor

Happy Birthday!! What a good mom you are!!
Happy bday, cuz! The Project 365 thing is a great idea.. I really wish more people would do stuff like this!
Yay Erin!! I'm off to view your Picasa album. The longer I've been doing this the closer I am to accepting that it won't be "perfect" I've skipped 2 days so far. And currently I'm behind in labeling and putting them in my 365 album. That means that I'm relying on my memory (BAD idea) as to what photo goes with what day. I sorta lost enthusiasm there for a while. Its back, however, thanks to the onset of spring. BTW, I think doing a birthday year is brilliant, makes much more sense than doing a Jan-Dec. year. I'm so literal, it didn't occur to me that I could create a year any way I like.
33 year. . . sheesh. I remember when.
love the one with Anna and the stickers - especially that she is wearing a sticker that says relaxation. What? Did she forget she is a 2 year old. ha! Also love Jumping!!
