Frozen in time ... 59::365



We listened to sleet hit our window all night long. Spring is coming, right?

Comedian ... 58::365

Sean has this new look he gives when he's trying to be clever. I didn't quite capture it here (but I love this shot)... he tilts his head down, and then looks up with his eyes. Then he laughs at himself. A few weeks ago I told him he was a comedian. He laughed, so I asked him if he knew what a comedian was. He said, "yes, I change colors".

When did my three-year old learn what a chameleon is?

Red Barn ... 57::365

We decided to go for a drive today. For no reason. We headed north in the snow, and happened upon all sorts of lovely red barns. This one was the most interesting. Love that blue boat.

Disney 2010 Vacation Photo Book { Hello You Books }

Disney 2010 by Amy Hipelius | Make Your Own Book

The story of our 2010 two-week vacation to Disney World.

Whew! This is a BIG book. I never imagined it would be so big when I started it. Thankfully I decided on using Ali Edward's Week in The Life layered templates, which made this easy peasy. Not a whole lot of fuss. Just photos, journaling from my blog, and 14 monochromatic patterned papers... oh, and Mickey ears. We can't forget Mickey ears.

Eye Spy with My Little Eye ... 56::365

Sean's favorite game lately. He doesn't get it, but loves to look with the magnifying glass.

Maintenance ... 55:365

I started getting allergy shots probably seven years ago, but my husband can probably tell you the exact date and day of week (he's like it... it's spooky). About five years ago I had reach maintenance level where I only had to go once a month to get the full dose. But then I got pregnant {finally!} with Sean and was afraid to continue them. I didn't have a clue why we had trouble conceiving, and I certainly didn't want to take any chances even though all research indicates that allergy shots are safe during pregnancy.

Shortly after Sean was born the sinus infections started coming back. And so I went back to the allergist and started the shots over again. With a green vial... then yellow... and finally red. Week after week. Sometimes twice a week.

Today I reached the full dose maintenance level. And it feels good.
