where's jax?
day 322.
happy thanksgiving.
i am thankful for LIFE.
let me explain why i chose this photo. its been a crazy year for me, and for my husbands side of the family, and for a dear friend of mine. LIFE has been crazy. many babies were born, but none of them being mine. 4 of my sister in laws had babies this year. this is one of them. my friend has two babies that were completely unplanned, and she is unmarried. this isn't a self pity post by any means. what makes this whole thing significant and ironic, is that this baby's daddy has cancer, and has been told he has a 10% chance to live. This baby right here was conceived ONE month before they even knew he had cancer, and before he started chemo right after, making him sterile. this baby was a miracle.
this baby was given LIFE.
LIFE is a miracle.
i am so very blessed to have LIFE, while some our struggling so hard for theirs.
day 321.
yes, this year we got our tree the day BEFORE thanksgiving, but it worked out best that way.
it was hard choosing my photo of the day for this day, i got a lot of fun photos on this day.
but i like this one. it says it all. andy is thigh deep in this beautiful , freezing white stuff, plowing mightily toward what is soon to become our christmas tree! man, this guy is tough. he nearly passed out after he cut down the thing and dragged it by himself across that crazy deep snow. not to mention it was probably like -10 degrees.
but even he says it was worth it.
the sky was SO blue and the air was SO crisp, and it was SO dang peaceful. It was truly a winter wonderland.
day 320.
the weather outside is frightful.
but in a way, its sort of delightful!
p.s. this isn't today's right photo. for some bizarre reason i guess i forgot to take one this day..although i refuse to believe that is true. i think i did...my computer just swallowed it up.
day 313.
its beginning to look a lot like....
wait, no its not!
i thought summer had just barely ended!
yeah, it did.
andy is a crazy christmas freak, but i look forward to this freakiness of his once a year. though he's ridicously early, I love his christmas spirit!
day 312.
does anyone remember lincoln logs? this has been a week of memories for me.
after years and years, i reunited with this childhood pastime when my mom brought a big tub full of them for jax.
I have memories of laying on the living room floor with my Dad and brothers , building houses with different colored roofs, then placing plastic indians around them like they were fighting. We usually did this in the winter, when it got dark early and there was nothing else to do.
wow, memories!
day 310.
congrats my long time friend, Candace!
(eeew and this is apparently what i look like when i shoot weddings! yuck!)
day 309.
does anyone remember these?
and the craze they caused?
or maybe its just me....
in grades 6-8, gelli rolls were a BIG DEAL.
if you didn't have gelli rolls, you may as well just not even come to school.
i remember searching high and low for them, but they were so hard to find, because i guess they'd be sold out everywhere?
little did i know, that at age 24, i could just waltz into my neighborhood Roberts Craft store, grab a 40% coupon & buy them for about $8 without any trouble or hassle.
i did not have to save all my money for what seemed to be such expensive but worth it pens.
i did not have to search every store and hopefully find the last pack.
they were just there. in full stock.

day 308.
and the rockets red glare,
the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night,
that the flag was still there.
