365 project
some of you may have already noticed the 365 box over on the sidebar there, but i've never mentioned anything about it. lemme tell you a bit what that's all about! on my birthday this year, march 28th, i started the 365 project. that involves taking one picture, everyday, for a year, to represent your past 365 days alive. today is day 110 and it's already like a blast from the past going back to first 20 or so days and seeing what was going on then. this is, for obvious reasons, a big year for us and i know i'll be so grateful when i've hit day 365 to have this little collection. here are a few of my favorites so far...
1/365- my 32nd birthday. so it begins
10/365- the day we got mirabelle. she was so tiny!!!
20/365- the day i saw my horse hook in Southern Living Magazine!
31/365- the day we found out that we're having a baby! i picked these few little flowers from the yard and just sat the pregnancy test next to them for evan to find when he got home from work. it was pretty exciting, emotional stuff.
71/365- mirabelles first vet visit. that face breaks my heart!
83/365- just a sweet moment with my two favorite boys!
89/365- the day our friends welcomed their twin baby girls into the world!
there are so many other pictures that just remind me exactly what i was doing on that day at that time. it's amazing how much one picture can just bring an entire day of memories right back to you.
anyone else ever do the 365 project? i would love to hear if you did anything special with the pictures afterwards. i'm thinking about getting these printed into a book so i can have my little collection all in one spot.
you can see all the pictures by either clicking the 365 box to the right, or by clicking HERE.
some family time in ATL!
welp i just got back from my little getaway to visit the fam in atlanta. when i say just, i mean like an hour ago. i had such a good time with my parents, my sister, and her kiddos that i just couldn't help immediately browsing my pictures as soon as i got in. there was just enough relaxation time, mixed in with fun activity time, to leave me feeling refreshed and ready to catch up on all the work i'm now behind on. totally worth it!
here's a bit of what this little road trip looked like according to my iphone...
it was almost a full week of delicious eats, quality kid time, lots of poolside lounging, and we even squeezed in dinner with some friends that live there. overall a successful break in my book! ohhh and exciting news... as you can see in one of the pics, the little bean is starting to make his/her presence known. i now have a little bump that doesn't go away, woohoo! today i'm officially 13 weeks so i'll be back with a bean update later on.
hope everyone had just as great a week. i'm happy to be back in our little home with my snuggly puppers. i missed those doggy faces!
barkley's 2nd birthday!
as mentioned a few days ago, wednesday was barkley's birthday! we had a lovely little party for him here and i think he rather enjoyed being king for the day. here are a few moments captured from the day...
doggy party hats!
mirabelle got her big brother a present!
a cake just for the pups!
party time!
the man of honor himself!
we also took the pups to the doggie park for a bit of running around, sniffing butts, and getting muddy. it was mirabelle's first time to a dog park and she was a bit nervous. you can see for yourself...
have a great weekend friends. i'm off to visit my fam in atlanta for a few days. i'll try and check in while i'm there, but we'll see how that goes :)
full of love!
thank you so very much for all the love and sweet comments yesterday. evan & i are super stoked about these new roles we're about to take on. it feels so good to finally be able to talk about it here now. i've had this huge secret for about 2 months and it was so hard to not say anything, so i found myself just holding back on everything. no fun at all!
in other exciting news, today's barkley's birthday! my little boy is now 2 years old. check out his first appearance on the ol' blog. this weekend we spoiled him rotten as an early birthday present. he did some hiking, some new dog sniffing, some swimming, and even had his very first boat ride. barkley is the first dog i've ever had, so naturally his birthday is a big deal!
tonight we're having a little doggie birthday party complete with party hats, presents, puppy pizzas and even a birthday cake.
happy birthday barkley. we love you tons!!!
