i love my life ...

Finally - Project Life Album week one.

 
Full view of the two pages. This is the first two pages in the album ( one page in front for the intro ).

 
Page one layout. The begining of the year New Years Eve photo's and putting away of the Christmas tree.

 
Page two - how we spent our days very early into 2011 mostly included the bookstore and hanging around at home enjoying new toys that Santa brought. Nice start into the new year.

I have to admit that my view on this project has changed some - Not in the joy of making this album but how I tell the story of the week we had or having. It's very much less about each day and more about the entire weeks worth of on goings all rolled into two pages. I'm glad that I am doing this project it's already fun to look back at the previous month and see what we were up to at that time. Lot's more to share of this Album :)

weekend captured :)

 
Oh she most certainly is !! I captured this little love monkey over the past long weekend ... FOUR DAYS OF A FULL CREW was both crazy + awesome. I can't wait till spring break !! My heart is set on it .

In her Room :)

 
Over the weekend I went through some of Ava's shots I took and found this set that I have always loved. So new and so pure that little two month old face. love. So I wanted to make a feature wall in her room for her to see her self at baby size - It's really cute she looks at the photo's and says "baby, me baby" . I think I might add a few newer ones current Ava shots to put into frames.  Fun little weekend project.

Today we are on the tail end of this four day long weekend. In lieu of this extra day off we are hanging around and enjoying the slower pace these past four days. Tomorrow it all goes back to normal again !!! eek.

enjoy it !!

THIS IS THE START OF HIS EXTRA LONG FOUR DAY WEEKEND :)

AND THIS IS WHAT SHE THINKS ABOUT IT .................................................................................... THAT LITTLE FACE SAYS IT ALL - WE ARE SO HAPPY TO HAVE A EXTRA LONG WEEKEND,STARTING NOW. HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD ONE TOO.

Painting day = Happy kid

 
 TODAY SHE IS PAINTING UP A STORM. I love THAT.

 

SUNDAY View around here.

This is my Sunday mid-day view. I found Ethan in his room playing around and doing his usual goofy things. I noticed the mess on the floor first and then I got upset and said "Ok dude time to clean it up" before he agreed to do it he asked me to play cars + trucks with him. I stopped and thought oh god we haven't played that in a long time. He and I use to play that all the time - before transformers - before star wars. Then I looked on his bed. It hit me I guess like a punch in the stomach and butterflies in my heart THEY ARE ALL LINED UP just like he use to do when he was Three. Oh how that swiftly brought back memories of hours us playing cars + trucks.

Thank you Ethan for reminding me of the way it use to be. I loved playing cars + trucks with you today and hope you ask me again soon.

grow fly live.

Love this.

 
Ava looking like  a BABA ! she totally snapped my mood this morning when she came out of the kitchen and into our living room like that. I told her she looked like a BABA and she laughed. I grabed my camera and shot away.

Today is super sunny I am loving the warmth coming through the windows. I love these days.

 

Ava hearts the Apple store.

 
Today we ventured out to the mall to let Ava run a muck in the place until she saw this mac in the Apple store. Then it was run no more and stop to play on the shiny mac + chill on those ubber cool ball chairs.

Right now she is totally tuckered out and down for the count. I love days like these. quietly I go to document the last few days into my project life album .... soon, soon I will post some of it.

 OM Ava + hello Oliver the pup :)

Enjoy your Sunday.

One little word - The Album :)

 
It's making it's way off the living room office bookshelf and on to my table.  I joined in the project One little word in the new year and have been quietly welcoming it. I took most of January to watch and hear the word I choosen. My word is BALANCE. I right now struggle to see this word in more than the obvious way.  But I know it will happen I will see it .... I hope. Right now it's a welcoming lesson that I want to learn. Balancing the stuff in life, if at all possible like Balancing the woman + mama that I am. I'm sure during this year long project I will find times that I hate this word and times that I will embrasse it fully. OK Balance ... I'm watching and listening.

You can join in on this online class by Ali Edwards : ONE LITTLE WORD 2011.

As we start our weekend which is taking off better than I thought it might from yesterdays sick day with Ethan. He was less ill looking this morning :)) Hopefully it lay's low and passes without trips to the ER. 

I plan on doing some updates on OLW this weekend

I plan on doing some work on Project life which I totally need to share - all of January is done.

I plan on sitting back + going slowly through the next 2 days - documenting the days of course.

I plan on making plans.

I plan on snuggles with my crew on the couch and some giggles too.

I plan on taking this crew outdoors if these awesome temps keep up.

I plan on being productively creative :)

I hope you all have a great Friday + Saturday + Sunday .
