Day 14: September 19, 2011

One of the reasons I wanted to start up my Project 365 again was to force myself to have my camera out more often for mundane moments like this one.  Ethan helped me do our big can/bottle return (we only go once every few months) and as a reward got to pick out a doughnut to enjoy at home with Mommy.  He chose a chocolate drizzled maple bar...that's my boy!  This was taken in the dark kitchen at 8:30am at ISO 3200.

Day 13: September 18, 2011

Ethan is having a hard time finding a groove in our new school year routine.  He's napping only half the time and acting cranky a lot more than usual.  I'm pretty sure he's just over tired and not sure what to expect and with a little more time he'll get with the program and be just fine.  Until then he needs his Sunday afternoon nap!

Day 12: September 17, 2011

Grace's first soccer game was on a cold overcast Saturday morning and she did fabulous!  The game was a night and day difference from last year...it actually looked like a real soccer game!

Day 11: September 16, 2011

Grace was pointing out the words she knew in her Judy Blume book for me.

Day 10: September 15, 2011

Sharing a beautiful black and white conversion of a photo I took from a newborn session with a 3 week old boy.  I used my macro lens for this shot and LOVE how close I can get with it!

Day 9: September 14, 2011

Today's photo was taken at the beginning of Grace's soccer practice this evening.  It was a rushed evening with soccer from 5-6pm (which actually ran 15 minutes late...) and Awanas from 6:30-8pm.  Ethan was super excited and insisted on wearing his Cubbies vest to Grace's soccer practice which worked well because I needed to take his picture!  This was taken just after we got out of the car and he was waiting for me to hurry up and get his Panda chair out so he could watch Grace play soccer.

Day 8: September 13, 2011

Today was Ethan's first day of preschool!  Mommy and Daddy both came along to drop him off on his first day with a quick stop by Dutch Brothers for a hot drink treat on the way.  He loved preschool and was soooo excited!  He actually told us to leave so no separation anxiety here which I am immensely relieved by.  He's much clingier than Grace ever was, but he's also watched her go to school for a few years now and is excited for it to be his turn.  Such a big boy!
