The days of our lives

I think I may have previously mentioned that I have been doing a project this year to capture a picture every day. Hopefully when I am done, I will have one picture per day for the whole year. Having to take pictures EVERY SINGLE DAY hasn't been as big of a challenge as I though, as my kids as so adorable, that is easy. Having the pictures be different and fun and creative, however has been a lot harder. I end up taking a bunch of pictures and hope that one comes out well.

On the positive side, however, I do find myself taking pictures of the ordinary, almost boring, parts of our lives. I think I almost prefer some of these pictures as they capture the girls as they are. Silly, cute, funny, the joys of my life.

This particular day Elizabeth and I were playing on the porch while Grace drew with her new sidewalk chalk.

On a side note, at almost 18 months, Elizabeth is really getting in touch with her silly trouble making side.
She is almost over "upside down baby," one of her first "tricks." But with a little coaxing she will still usually put out.
Grace, ever the little artist, loves her new sidewalk chalk. I love the way she refers to herself as "an artist, like my Tia."



Elizabeth was a little bummed she wasnt allowed off the porch to play with chalk. She did however enjoy watching Grace. Grace often says "I just love Elizabeth's smile" and I would have to agree. It takes over her whole face and just lights up the room!
