Days 21 - 31

Well, I've kind of failed at P365 already since I think I could count on one hand the numbers of days in February that I have photos for, but I did get almost all of January done and I'm planning to pick the camera back up in March and keep trying.

01.21.2010 | playing with shapes

James making pictures out of those colorful little shapes.


01.22.2010 | rain, rain, go away

Yet another day of rain. When it stopped coming down in sheets, I grabbed my camera and ventured out in search of some rain drop photos.


01.23.2010 | three-wheeling

James on the neighbor's big wheel... I remember when his legs weren't even long enough to reach the pedals on a regular tricycle. When did he get so tall?


01.24.2010 | cubby bear

Just a quick snapshot on the way to awana tonight. I don't know why John pulls his arms out of the seatbelt like that.


01.25.2010 | wisdom

my binder for the Proverbs class I'm taking.


01.27.2010 | view from the vets

Next door to our vet is this fun building that houses carnival equipment. Since we've been there so often for bandage changes on the dog's leg this month, we've gotten to see it a lot!


01.28.2010 | feeding time

A visit to Bates Nut farm with the grandparents and a chance to feed some animals. I took lots of photos, but this one of John feeding a goat was one of my favorites.


01.31.2010 | hi there

just Peter :)

Day 20

01.20.2010 | monkey feet


James found an old baby outfit that looks like a monkey suit and has been wearing it around for the past couple of days. Since it's only 12 month sized however, it doesn't exactly fit. :)

Other photos from the day:

monkey boy

Here's the front of James' monkey suit. As you can see, the fit leaves a bit to be desired. When he tried to get both his arms and legs in the proper holes, I had to take it away from him. Too bad they don't make things like this in 5T; he'd be in little boy heaven!

diddle diddle dumpling

Peter has the funny habit of taking his sock off, only one, and usually the right foot. Here he was, sitting on the couch holding his sock and watching a toon.

tv head

still watching his toon, guess his pants needed to be snapped up :)

Mocha kisses

Day 19

01.19.2010 | we love dessert


This is seven of the nine kids that were at our house today.. it was a little crazy! I have another photo for today that I like better on my cell phone, but I don't know how to get it off, so this will have to do ;)

Day 18

01.18.2010 | cheery


I was out taking photos of the seemingly never-ending rain, when I noticed these buds on the camila outside our front door. I thought they seemed so much cheerier than all the grey skies in the rest of the photos I took today.

Day 17

01.17.2010 | misery


When we got home from church, we found our sweet dog standing in the front yard. How she got out of the backyard I have no idea, but she'd apparently been hit by a car. Here she is after surgery on her leg, simply miserable in her "cone of shame."

Day 16

01.16.2010 | sweet kisses


Even though I didn't take these photos, and even though I hadn't even brushed my hair yet that morning, and even though Peter's face is covered in breakfast, these are still my favorites from the day because it was one of the happiest parts of my day. He would give me a big old smooch on the cheek, or nose and then laugh like it was the funniest thing he'd ever done. I wish I could bottle up these moments to relive when the boys are grown and gone!

Day 15

01.15.2010 | go away


I went into the boys' room at 9 o'clock to see if they were up yet, but they weren't. I thought John looked so sweet sleeping that I crept back out to get my camera. He woke up just as I was taking his picture though, and to say that he was grumpy would be a major understatement. Apparently he was not yet ready to get out of bed!
