Project Life Weeks 6 & 7

Week Six:

Week 7:

Still sick around here. I went to the Dr. yesterday. After waiting 3 hours, I found out that in addition to my cough, I have a sinus infection and an ear infection. The bad news is that the cough medicine they gave me actually made my cough worse, and I got no sleep last night. The good news is that they gave me Z-pack, so I'm already starting to feel better. I stayed home today, along with Brendan, who is pretty stuffed up. Here's hoping we'll all be back to school tomorrow!

On another positive note (trying to be grateful here), I had time to read the novel The Help. I loved this book! It deals beautifully with the tough subject of segregation and race relations. It made me laugh and cry. I couldn't put it down. I was sad when it ended. I would definitely recommend this book.

Project Life Week 5

We've been so busy the last couple weeks that I haven't had much time for creating. I have been keeping up on Project Life, though.

Last week, my wonderful hubby got me Copics for my birthday. I kept telling myself I didn't need them, but I've wanted them forever. I have squeezed in a little time for playing with them. I can tell they are going to be addicting. Every time I color, I think of more colors I'd like to have. This could be trouble. Now I just need to make from cards from some of these images :)

We're having Austin's birthday party today. Then it will be another crazy week as I get ready for progress reports Friday. I can't believe we've halfway through the third quarter. Time flies!

Project Life Weeks 3 and 4

I've been keeping up on Project Life, but haven't been getting them posted on here. I still haven't perfected the lighting for taking pictures without the glare, but you get the idea. You can click on the photos to get a closer look.

Project Life--First Two Weeks

As I mentioned in my goals post, I bought a Project Life kit this year. I'm not necessarily trying to do a photo a day, but more of a weekly glimpse of our lives. I knew if I tried to do daily, I'd never keep up and quit. I do know that I can make time each week for the journaling and photos. I'm working on capturing the little day to day moments in our lives. Here's our first two weeks of January:
