You may remember I participated in the March photo a day challenge a few months ago. I had so much fun taking pictures on a daily basis, I figured I'd try it again. I feel as if it's a photo scavenger hunt...and who doesn't like a good old fashioned scavenger hunt?!
Day 1: Morning. This was day 1 of moving out of our old house. Started the morning out right - with a DC baby.
Day 2: Empty. This was day 2 of moving. Pretty difficult day and pretty sure my throat had a huge lump in it walking through the house, taking these pictures.
Day 3: On your plate. The was the first day the girls returned to our new apartment. We were tired from a long weekend of moving and therefore my dinner was oatmeal and a beer. Don't judge.
Day 4: Up close. Our CrossFit gym equipment. Bar bell. Med ball. Kettle bell. Weight plates.
Day 5: A sign. Our new neighborhood sign and notes/signs left by our contractor to his subcontractors inside our house.
Day 6: Hat. Izzy Lou trying on a fedora at Target.
Day 7: Drink. After a long day of road tripping, we celebrate in Madison with a tall drink. Well deserved.
Day 8: 6 o'clock. Not sure if this was taken exactly at 6pm or not...but it was pretty close. The lions were a'roaring, that's for sure.
Day 9: Your view today. Lake Michigan 6 miler. Beautiful.
Day 10: Best bit of your weekend. This. Just this. Girlfriends. Running. Dancing. Celebrating.
Day 11: Door. Our over sized sliding glass door from our Great Room out onto our deck.
Day 12: From a low angle. The girls loved jumping from stack to stack of our drywall before it was installed. We visit nightly, so they are constantly exploring and finding new ways to entertain themselves.
Day 13: Art. Caleb and Izzy have been pen pals all summer. Here Caleb drew Iz a castle. So sweet. She keeps this in her craft bag that travels with her everywhere. Young love.
Day 14: Time. Early wake up calls.
Day 15: Yellow. My new fave summer drink...the Summer Shandy. Num, num.
Day 16: In your bag. Rarely do I carry a purse. I can count on both hands the number of times I use a purse in a year. These days it's all about diaper bagging it. Revisions in the last few weeks to what is in my bag: no more fruit snacks (Iz has 7+ cavities, don't ask unless you want me to tell you how horrible I feel about it) and no more diapers (Lane is now in undies almost full time!).
Day 17: Out and about. Our excursions, besides trips to the new house, mostly involve swimming these days. These girls looove to swim with their daddy.
Day 18: Something we don't know about you. When I was 9 or 10 I traveled to Houston, Texas to be a part of Bela Karolyi's gymnastics camp. Went with my sister and other teammates of mine. We got to watch the big-time Olympians practice...like Phoebe Mills from the 1988 US Olympic team. Was an amazing experience.
Day 19: Imperfect. My poor runner's feet have calluses, blisters, and broken toe nails. Don't look too close, that's for sure.
Day 20: Favorite picture you've taken. I chose from pictures taken on my phone only. Sister love.
Day 21: Where you slept. In an apartment. On queen mattresses on the floor. No headboard. 5 weeks until we move...but who's counting?
Day 22: View from above. Bath time with my little mermaids.
Day 23: Movement. One of my coaches took this of me during a WOD. It made my day. Heck, it made my month. Pretty proud...been working hard.
Day 24: On your mind. Plantation shutters, dining room tables, paint colors and built-ins. So much to do yet.
Day 25: Cute. Toddler toes.
Day 26: Where I shop. This particular night was at the hardware store looking at appliances and paint swatches. Can you tell how thrilled the girls are to be there?
Day 27: Bathroom. Locker room at work after a team speed workout. This was 8 weeks into our first training session and we had a 1 mile time trial to run...to gauge our improvement over our 1 mile we ran 8 weeks ago. I beat my 8 week prior PR (it was my PR because I had never timed a mile before and therefore had not time to beat!) by 15 seconds: 7:09 baby. Again, I'm proud. Hard work is paying off.
Day 28: Shelf. Our apartment has a few built-ins and we store the girls' toys in them.
Day 29: Soft. Izzy lines up all of her loveys in a row every. Single. Day. If they get out of place she freaks her freak and goes to town until they are all back in order. Some nights we have to say good night to each and every one of them. Kisses, too. She has a touch of her daddy's OCD, no? I'll miss this one day, I'm sure of it.
Day 30: A friend. Only the best. Not sure what I'd do without Jaime in my life...but I count my lucky stars she is. Muah!
