365 Update and Excitement Over Books!

In case you are wondering, I am keeping up with Project 365. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Project 365 involves taking a picture every single day of the year and journaling about each shot. I was posting all of my pictures on Facebook, but I've been falling behind there for the last two months. You can catch up on my 365 gallery by clicking the picture icon on the right. All of the pictures and journaling will be printed in a book at the end of the year. I did the project last year and love looking through my book. Two years in a row might be my limit. Now I have this blog and post everything here anyway.  It seems redundant to have a blog book and a 365 book each year. Next year I will probably just work harder to blog more frequently.

I had a wonderful surprise yesterday. Jake asked me to read a book to him. That is huge. He rarely asks that. When I do read to him, he can hardly make it through an entire book without jumping out of my lap and running to some other activity.

I know, I know. Don't compare.  I can't help it. Kate loved books. Kate could spend a very long time entertaining herself with a pile of books. We read the same books over and over again. She was much younger than Jake in the following pictures, and so many of the shots I have of her at this age include books.

When Jake asked me, I was so excited. When he asked for a second and third book, I just couldn't believe it! We sat together reading for a long time before I decided to run downstairs for the camera. I didn't want to ruin the moment.

I'm really hoping this day wasn't a fluke. He was still pretty sick with croup which slowed him down a bit, but he was also juiced up on prednisone. My fingers are crossed that he'll ask again soon.

I just love these frames!!    I'll be using them occasionally when I have some extra time. 

Speaking of the croup diagnosis...I had to reschedule a few of my shoots. We got very little sleep last week, and Jake wasn't going to school.  He needed his Mommy. Fortunately my clients are also mommies and very understanding. I have 3 shoots set up for Monday and am so excited about them.
