365/365: Happy New Year!

Picture the streamers! It's party time! Project 365 has concluded!

Self-portrait taken with timer and tripod.
I hope to visit those of you who will continue blogging--because I will miss you all! It's been an amazing journey for me. I'm on to the next chapter (which may or may not be a Project 52!)...and that is all she wrote!

364/365: Bedtime

 I've really loved documenting all aspects of our lives this past year. I'm going to miss this blog and all the wonderful fellow bloggers that I followed on this journey!

Both are 1/160 f/1.6 ISO 4000 with the 50mm lens.

363/365: Snow at Dusk

Kids are always amazed by snow!

1/125 f/2 ISO 3200 85mm lens (natural light only)

362/365: My Funny Girl

Taken with the Canon 5DMII and the 85mm lens; edited in CS5.

361/365: ....Awww Snow!

We did not get  a white Christmas this year in this part of Canada! But just a few days later, we got a little bit of the white stuff!

360/365: Pinky Purplicious

359/365: What Santa Brought

Princesses and princess dresses and accessories (among other things)!
Trains, cars, tents, and puzzles!

358/365: Twas the Night Before....

Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring...

357/365: The Kids' Nativity

Daddy enjoyed a very nice teaching opportunity as he assembled the Playmobil Nativity Manger with the kids.

356/365: The Old with the New

So this ornament is a lot like one I captured earlier. But this time, taken with the new camera and processed differently, the shot has a different feel.

ISO 3200 f/1.8 85mm lens (100% crop)
Decided to use the new camera to snap a photo of the old, old camera!

355/365: Message from Santa

Natalie loved getting a video message from Santa--thanks to Aunt Shirley!

354/365: Christmas Concert

Daddy played photographer today at Natalie's Christmas Concert at school. She was in line on the way to the auditorium in this photo.

353/365: The Holy Family

We bought this our first Christmas in Canada three years ago. It will be a wonderful reminder of our time up here when we move.

352/365: The Angel

It's been a busy, busy time! After selling my 7D, I had to dust off the old Rebel XT. Here's a snap of the angel from the previous post (now that the tree is actually finished).

351/365: Trace Evidence

She managed to keep her hands clean--but the evidence of chocolate was still visible around her mouth!

This is from the last set of photos I took with the Canon 7D and the 70-300 lens. I sold them to fund my new camera!

350/365: Little Helper

She really got into helping out with the tree.

349/365: Topping the Tree

It took us several days--okay, at least a week--to decorate the tree! Natalie got a little help from Daddy in placing the angel on top!

348/365: Ho Ho Hum

Just one of those days when I wasn't feeling the holiday spirit. Bah humbug!

347/365: Focused

He's been very motivated by a series of Thomas the Train puzzles on the iPad. He was set on mastering them--and in just about a week he's completed all of them without any help! 

346/365: Cheesy Smile

I think I can hear her say "Cheeeeese"!!!! 

345/365: Reflection

I don't know what he was thinking as he paused for a moment while playing with balloons and waiting on his sister. He sure does look like he's up to something!

344/365: Everything, She Says

So when Santa asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she rattled off a bunch of things with rapid-fire speed and then threw her hands up in the air saying, "and EVERYTHING!" What are we in for?!! LOL


343/365: Candy & the Colorful Lights

Once again, Candy is my little muse. She really is a pretty cooperative doggie!

342/365: iPhone Amusement

He's into playing on my iPhone lately!

341/365: Tree Lights

We had just finished putting up the Christmas tree lights (but had not finished decorating the tree), when I decided to "play."

This bokeh shape is a tell-tale sign of the 50mm lens.

340/365: Milk Alternative

We're also buying chocolate rice milk lately!

339/365: It's the most wonderful...

time of the year...for shopping! LOL

(Who am I fooling? It's another iPhone picture!)

338/365: Another Clickin' Mom

I was so excited to meet fellow Clickin' Mom Stephanie Canada! She took our family photos recently--and let me snap this photo of her. (So it wasn't taken on the date of this post.) It's so nice to meet fellow photographers and talk shop!

337/365: One Light

336/365: And days like these...

When there's so much to do and so little time. And worries get me down. I want to remember days like these--and be reminded that with Him all things are possible.


335/365: Portraits by Natalie

She first drew a picture of Rapunzel in an A-B pattern dress. Then she drew "Blue Jean" (we can't get her to say Eugene!). Then she went back and added Pascal! We're so proud of her writing out her name!

334/365: Grouch

I couldn't resist getting this hat!

333/365: Colors of the Season

And, it's time! This is a detail from one of the two wreaths that now grace our front door.

332/365: After the Rain

I'll be honest. This is a photo from another day.

331/354: Hazy Days

Some days are just filled with activity and they seem to go by in a blur--a hazy blur.

330/365: Picture Day

So I spent a few hours in the morning taking a friend's family photos. In the afternoon, it was our turn! I snapped this one while our photographer was taking our daughter's photo. Thanks to Clickin Mom Stephanie for taking our family photo! (If you're curious, you'll have to wait to see them until after the Christmas cards have gone out! Sorry!).

329/365: What's for Dinner Now?

Natalie requested pizza!


328/365: Turkey Day

Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October. So, on our Thanksgiving Day, it's a regular day like any other around here: school, speech appointments, errands, etc. Thank goodness we have friends who invite us over for Thanksgiving dinner. I must say, their turkey was delish!

327/365: The Painting

Natalie worked on this painting on two different days. She'd come home from school and paint! We have one more step left in completing her masterpiece!

326/365: The Light from the Office

Sometimes I can sneak some editing at night in the office--when everything is dark except the light from the office. On this night, I discovered a photo of my son that I'd taken over the summer that I never edited. So here it is!



325/365: What's In a Name?

As I've gotten older I've started to care about skin products a little more. I'm always amused by the names they give some of these products: Keep the Peace, Prime Time, BareMinerals, Purity, etc. I even have one called Hope in a Bottle. Really! 

324/365: On My Night Stand

I keep quite a few books on my night stand. But this one is currently at the top of the stack.

323/365: Weakness

I cannot resist Cheetos. There.  My secret is out. Best to keep them from making their way into my house! LOL
