Joe's Jeans

Alright I really don't like pictures of myself, I'd had these on all day when Neil took the picture, and I didn't realize how too big the shirt was getting but these are my very first designer jeans and my absolute favorite. They are a bit long and would look better with heals but since I dry everything in a few washings they will not be too long. They feel great and stay up which I love plus when I started loosing weight I wanted to loose enough to fit in the largest size these came in. That didn't quite happen bc when I went to try them on I actually wore a size smaller. I hope they still fit in a few weeks but I'm almost at my goal so they should. Trust me I look better in this outfit in person.

One of Emily's favorite things to do.

I a big girl.

Emily has become very insistent regarding her status as a big girl lately. Just before the top picture she told me, "I not baby, I big girl, balrina." During the bottom picture she was tracing letters on Elijah's letter poster saying "I write your name". Truthfully she is becoming more little girl and less baby every day but I love that she can sometimes tell us what is going on in her head.

Day 1 Airplanie

I have many goals for 2010 most of which I have no real desire to list out at the moment. However, the one that effects this blog the most is my goal to take at least one picture every day for the year. I'd like to declare one photo the photo of the day each day. I will try to post daily but I am not promising that I will only that I will do my best to take them and get them up. I came up with this idea bc I've found that I don't take many pictures of our day to day goings on and bc I remembered a news story from before Elijah was born about a man who had taken a film picture of his child every day of her life. I thought it was a neat idea but didn't do it with either of my kids. I figure this way they can be pictures of whatever but it should motivate me to take more with my pretty new camera. Thanks dear.

Now about the picture. My Aunt Janet and Uncle David got Elijah a huge totally awesome lego airplane kids for Christmas. I was dreading putting it together but Neil and Elijah worked on it nap time for the past two days and here it is. As you can see the big boy is quite proud of himself. Thankfully daddy has much more patience with these things then I do. You picked a winner though Janet he is thrilled with it and has it on display on a very high shelf in the play room.
