Day 124: January 7, 2012

Grace asked me to sign her up for basketball last summer and was super excited to get to play this year.  I would never have pegged her as the basketball type of girl, but I would never discourage her from an activity that she's repeatedly asked to try.  Especially at this age!  She had the biggest smile on her face the entire time and does a super job paying attention to her coach and tries very hard.  She makes me proud regardless of her athletic ability!

Day 123: January 6, 2012

It was another cold and frosty morning.  I took this macro shot in my back yard of some frosty grass.

Day 122: January 5, 2012

Another macro shot, this time of the small coin purse Grace was given.  One of the teacher's aides in her class visited Thailand over the holiday break and brought back the coin purses and a coin for all the kids.  Grace picked the purple one with the elephant on it, no surprise there!

Day 121: January 4, 2012

I used my macro lens to get this cool photo of the water droplet hanging on the tree branch this morning.

Day 120: January 3, 2012

Today Ethan hit a big milestone: his very first basketball practice!  He was soooo excited to pull out his basketball clothes and play ball with other kids.  Still need to work on paying attention to the coaches and participating for the entire 45 minutes, but he'll get there.

Day 119: January 2, 2012

A quick macro shot of the pink flowering bush in our front yard.  I love morning light!

Day 118: January 1, 2012

I know this isn't the most exciting photo to start 2012, but after staying up late for New Years Eve and spending the whole day in the car driving home and then unpacking this was all I could muster!
