Ok, so I have two of them today. At first, I was like, “Oh, crap that
doesn’t work with the rules.” Then I remembered, guess what? I
make the rules! How do you like them apples?
This is a photo of one of the Christmas lights we put outside. They are
iridescent. With all the rain, it looks even more magical to me and I
wanted to capture it so I could remember this special holiday season.
Today’s shot is of David looking out the window and watching the rain.
It’s a good thing I was sick and not at work. I hate rain.
And we’ve caught up to today’s photo. For anyone who knows me, today’s
photo should be predictable. This is the first time I get to vote in a
presidential election and so I am watching every moment of every major
political event. And, of course, the Iowa Caucus qualifies. It was Obama
and Huckabee’s nights.
Another Christmas present shot. Jake’s parents got David a bunch of toys
and one of them was this hat which is David’s new favorite toy.
Today’s photo is more for me than usual. As Jake was in the side yard,
cutting up our tree, I snapped this photo of our side yard. I’ve always
wanted a house with a yard and this one has two of them. I don’t know
how long we’ll have a house and the side yard’s so green right now that
I wanted to make sure I captured its beauty.
And here is our daily David for Jan 1st. I couldn’t miss this amazing
little moment where, as always, David enjoyed the boxes his presents
came in more than the presents themselves.
Yes, I know I haven’t done the looking forward post yet. I have had a
fever of 101 for the last four days and I’ve pretty much been in bed the
whole time. I will do the post as soon as I pick up all the pieces I’ve
been dropping for the last few days. David’s been sick twice in the last
three weeks and Jake just came from the hospital where he found out that
he has a well-advanced ear infection. So our household has welcomed 2008
in our own special way. By being sick.
Anyhow. I’m starting two new things this year: picture of the day and
daily David. We’ll see how far I go, but the goal is to capture random
photos from my day. They are not meant to be high quality (though they
can). They are meant to document something from my day. Each day.
Today’s is about our tree. This year, we got a real tree for the first
time in ten years and we decorated it with white and blue ornaments and
lights. It made this holiday season my very favorite. I looked forward
to seeing that tree every night when I came home and every morning when
I woke up. So this photo is to commemorate our last day with the tree.

I love this photo and the sense of calm it gives me. Journaling is under
the flap in the bottom.

Journaling Reads:
When you were born, I took your photos constantly and you never
objected. (Well, you didn’t have much choice.)
As you grew up, you went through a phase were you were very annoyed when
I approached you with a camera. “No picture,” you’d say over and over
again. Those months, most of the photos I captured were angry,
frustrated, or annoyed faces. I didn’t mind too much, I loved those
faces almost as much as the happy ones since they were all different
parts of you. I figured I should capture all I can while you still let
me take any photos.
I thought that eventually you’d find clever ways to hide from the
camera. I have been preparing myself for that day. But, today, you
completely shocked me. You walked up to the camera, gave it to me, and
said “Mommy, take picture,” and you gave me the sweetest smile.
I didn’t care that the light was terrible and that it would be blurry. I
captured the moment and thanked my lucky stars.
