It was a beautiful Sunday in January, so the boys and I took a bike ride over to Rocket Park. Benji asked to take my photo so how could I not include it?

20/365 Ooppss Forgot!

I think I forgot to shoot this day!

19/365 Derby Day!

My hubby and my boys had their very first Pinewood Derby this morning with their Adventure Guides group.  Imagine how shocked we were that N came home with several ribbons from 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.   It was even more shocking to hear that B won FIRST PLACE for the entire Pinewood Derby today, there were about 100 car entries.    My hubby has never done nor ever built a pinewood derby car!  They had such a fun morning, I am so happy and proud of my three boys.

18/365 Sunchair flair

13/365 sunday afternoon

my boys have been playing in room to room to room - finally made their way in the entry way. time to break out the camera for some sunlight filtering in while my oldest builds his own angry bird house

12/365 Adventures with Roo

Roo came home with us from preschool, so we are to document Adventures with Roo. Rainy and cold does not make for too many outdoor adventures, so we had to go upside down with Roo.

4/365 2012 Family Memories

So exciting to be organizing and printing our family photos. Here is 2012's book, need to go back to 2011 and maybe 2010 now.

3/365 Tea time!

so rather than stress myself over getting photos of the boys everyday, i thought I'd try a few "around the house" things, so here is my morning ritual - a cup of tea.  this teakettle is from Chantal where I worked during each pregnancy and birth of both my sons.

2/365 Early Morning Kindle

bonding over early morning angry birds and skylanders clouds games on their shared kindle
my older son has his second loose tooth
camera ISO set to max of 6,400 and manual focus to get this shot, this was the best out of 40 images - tough shooting! hm wonder what the Mark III could do here. . .

1/365 - Project 365 or something like it

soooo, yes, it's been 3 years since I've posted on this blog.  at some point i wasn't sure about  posting too may details about my children out on the web, but suppose i'm past that now.  i've still been posting these last three years -- just over at my photo site - Eliz Alex Photography .  at this site I hope to share my daily 365 images (as long as I can keep up!)

here is my little guy, who is napping after a very late night at our little New Year's Eve gathering last night.  we have two tired boys here today!



so with all that said, i am still living the Life with the Alexander Boys.
