Somewhere Along The Way

Everyday for the past few days, 6 yr old Tyler writes us this note. I want to save every single one of them!

Busy Days! March 27th, 2013

Between the swim banquet, dr's appt's, and doogy classes it has been one heck of a busy week and it's only half over! Gotta start thinking about Easter!

In the first pic - this is how I found Tyler at the Kid's Corner! Reading a book to two younger boys. So cute!

Harry was tired yesterday! He started CGC classes, we are working towards therapy certification. Tough class!

Puppy

Muddy Harry!

Tyler brings home book - Harry the Dirty Dog and we all giggle!

Stormy lounges!

Home from
School and napping with Harry.

Swim Team

Tonight we sang and danced and celebrated Julian's accomplishments on the swim team! The coach said he was focused and was a natural talent. My heart leapt for him and for all the other proud parents who came to watch their children be honored.

Tyler danced to Gangnam Style and played with his friends.

The parent board really came together to make the night a success.

Afterwards, while getting the boys ready for bed we counted Julian's ribbons and talked about his wins and times. Super fun. We r so proud of you Julian.

Best way to start Monday. Jump right in!

Annual scrapbook weekend!

Well 2013's trip to Jackson was, as usual, delightful. This was our fourth year. I can't believe how excited I get to create pages, journal memories, catch up with the ladies and enjoy the coziness of the inn. The breakfasts are wonderful, the women inspiring!

Tyler Swims!

Tyler is taking private swim lessons and he loved it! Today he jumped into the deep end ! My heart was in my throat. He did great!! Now he is swimming with a noodle. Kick kick little fish.

Second week of the new year and I'm going strong

Well, this project life project will keep me on my toes photographically.  The themes represented here, are optomism, grace and a view.  Yes, with pink sneakers on I am happy to say that I have successfully put in more than a handful of great workouts.  I've eaten pretty clean and am starting to feel great.  Ate way to many christmas cookies this holiday season.

For the inspiration of grace I chose and image of my niece Vivienne.  Baby's can be messy but they sure are perfection as well.  Pure and in their simple way, graceful.

The "view" is a of a wonderful park in Middletown I love.  It is so quiet, peaceful and never crowded. We took the boys and the dogs for a walk with my Dad. 

Stay Young

Project Life 365 by Design Aglow has got me fired up.  They are inspiring photographers to capture images daily as part of this year long project of creating your visual identity.  I'm game.  Today's theme is "you".  Here is me from Saturday.  Flying down a hill in Gales Ferry, sledding with the boys.  Had a great time.  The boys are old enough to drag their own sleds up the hill.  Tyler sat in the tube a few times.  It was a good workout for me.  Unfortunately Bill feeling a bit under the weather.  We are waiting on blood work results to see if he has Lyme.  Poor hubby.  He's pretty miserable.  Lots of flu like symptoms.  Crossing fingers it's just a virus.

Anyhow...here I am....at 44 years of age....trying to stay young!

Grab the Reins! It's a New Year

Resolution #1 Blog daily because at the end of the year you could have a really fabulous blog to print book with images!

Resolution #2 Get to Goal ( yeah that personal fitness goal that nags you all the time)  The good news is I am fit.  The bad news...I gotta get lean to see all the work I've put in this year.

Resolution #3 budget and save ( so that vacation you want to take every year happens)

Resolution #4 CRAFT ! more scrapbooking, more stamping, more embossing, more card making, more learning and more personal photography!
