Photo Project 2012 - Days 16 to 20

A week of Zelda...

Day 16


Froggy Zelda, with Tubby in hand. Have you noticed, yet, that Tubby is always with Zelda?

Day 17


Some nights, Zelda decides that sleeping on her pillow just won't cut it.

Day 18


It didn't quite come through, but Zelda has her hands around Tubby while Mr. Snowman looks on.

Day 19

Not sure what happened, but the camera never touched my fingers on Jan. 19. Bummer.

Day 20


Yeah, snow today! This was Zelda just moments before moving out from the cover of the garage into the deluge of snowfall. I just don't know what it is about my daughters' faces bundled into their hats and hoods that makes me want to shoot a gazillion pictures. This was the best of about 11.

Photo Project 2012 - Day 8 and Counting

Well, I've gotten really behind in posting images for Photo Project 2012. But, at least I'm still taking them. Every day, though I think I may have missed one this past week. Feeling compelled to take pictures each day has me thinking: Am I taking a picture each day just to take a picture and capture my day or am I taking a picture to push myself to look at the world around me a little differently? I started out thinking the former, but little by little, I'm leaning toward the latter. That said, some pictures will show that I'm just barely managing to get a single picture taken for a given day. January in the Midwest without much snow (before today!) doesn't leave much to photograph. I always have my children, though. And, sometimes, they prove quite photogenic.

Here are the best of the them, starting with:

Day 8


My dad Bob as we celebrated his birthday with the family.

Day 9


It wasn't enough for Zelda to finger paint. She needed to paint me and have me make a hand print.

Day 10


This is one of those pictures that very plainly captures an activity at one point in our day. This day, we drew pictures of Zelda's favorite loveys, Tubby and Bear.

Day 11


Annalee read to Zelda one afternoon after school.

Day 12


Finally, some snow! And, with that comes the anticipation of a sleigh ride down to the bus stop.


Beautiful Zelda after a joyful afternoon of snow. I don't know if the sad face is from being wet or from knowing it's time to go in.

Day 13


Pathetic, I know. The remains of some tasty, warm hot chocolate...

Day 14



Our family with our friend Bill Li. He's like the Chinese stork in our adoption world.

Day 15


Does this really require a caption?

Photo Project 2012 - Day 2


This morning the wind swirled a tiny little bit of powdery snow over the edge of the roof outside the patio doors. It seemed worthy of a picture. Good golly, I sure hope we get some more snow than the half-inch we've gotten on two separate days this entire season.
