Project 365–Day 3

Malachi is the subject of my picture for today.  I LOVE those big eyes!  He was just hanging out in our bed after keeping us up most of the night.  He looks a lot more awake than either Mark or I was, ha!

Day 2

Project 365–Day 2

Here is my picture for the day.  My camera takes poor night time shots, hence the off coloring, this was about 5 p.m. and all our blinds were already shut.   The kids were working together on schoolwork, and were so intent on what they were doing that they didn’t even notice I was taking a picture! 

Project 365

A friend of mine has started doing something called a project 365 this year, she will be taking a picture everyday and posting it to a flicker account.  The goal behind it is to become a better photographer.  She even joined a group online of people doing the same thing.  I know myself and my schedule and making that kind of commitment would be nearly impossible.  However, I love the idea of having a picture taken everyday and at the end of the year having an album of pictures showing our daily life.  So, I am going to try and start my own album without signing up for the support group.  Then if it gets to be too much I can just drop the whole idea without feeling guilty or like I’m letting anyone down.  I will try and add one picture for each day(not necessarily added individually though, more likely all at once, once a week or so) although they may not get posted here.  I will also be posting them to my FB account. 



This is the picture I choose for my first one.  I took all kinds of pictures, from piles of laundry to kids on the computer to Mark holding Malachi but I loved this picture.  It shows Micah’s quirky temperament and silliness.  :)  I know it’s not a great picture but I loved it all the same.
For anyone interested in joining the group (who’s more motivated then I am!) you can find more information here.  Also, the pictures will be uploaded to this Flickr account https://www.facebook.com/PeasAndCarrotsStudio

Family Picture 2012

Here is our family picture that we will send in our Christmas cards this year.  Thought you all might like to see it.

And here is the picture of Malachi that we are sending.  I’m counting this as his birth announcement rather than sending separate ones.

4 months

Malachi had his 4 month check up today!  He is doing so well!!!!  He is 13 lbs 6 oz. and 25 1/4" long.  Using his actual age this puts him in the 50th percentile for height and the 15th for weight!  Not too shabby!  And it would be even better if the doctor had calculated on his adjusted age.  :-)  I'm so proud of my little guy!

Heads up...

Hi Everyone!  Just wanted to give you a heads up that I haven't forgotten you!  I tried to put together a couple of posts this last week only to be informed that I was out of space to upload any more pictures! So, we are thinking and praying about what to do next.  I can continue to post but without pictures.  It will cost a monthly fee to continue to upload pictures and we are just not sure what to do next.  Pray that we will have wisdom in this decision.  Thanks for your patience as we work this out!

Jeremiah's Birthday!

We celebrated Jeremiah's birthday this month.  He is a big 4 year old now!!!   We invited only family (we have decided to invite friends once they get to their 5th birthday), and it was a nice size crowd.

The Birthday Boy :-)

 The theme of the party was construction.  A friends of mine gave me her decorations from her son's construction party so I didn't have to make them, such a blessing!

I made the cake as always, as well as the cupcakes.  I went with very simple, to make things easier for me.  I still got lots of compliments on the cake though.

Baby Shower

My mother in law and sister in law threw me a baby shower a few weeks ago!  It was a lot of fun!  We had a tea followed by the shower.  I was so happy with how it went, and so pleased that so many of my friends could come!

Kid Pics

Here are some pictures of the kids from October.  I hardly ever remember to get out the camera and take pictures, I'm so busy, so I appologize for the lack of pictures.  Also, I just realized there are no pictures of Elijah.  I guess he was working on school or reading a book or something when I took these.  ;-)  

Jeremiah and Malachi

The youngest 3: Jeremiah, Micah, and Malachi

My "Babies"  :-)

Josiah and his airplanes.  He's such a ham, he always wants his picture taken!

Emmy and Malachi.  She is so proud of her little brother and loves to hold and take care of him. 

Malachi

Love Malachi's hair in this pic, freshly washed!

And one final picture that Emmy took of me and Malachi.  :-)  Pictures of me with any of my kids are precious to me, since I'm the one normally taking the pictures I'm rarely in them.

Leaves!

The kids had a blast raking up all the leaves in the front yard and jumping in them!  They buried each other, made "leaf angels" and jumped in the BIG pile they made, over and over again!  So fun!!!
