Project 365 - Day 294

The boys with Auntie Kristin tonight.  It was a beautiful evening and I could not resist getting a photo in front of the barn door!

 

Project 365 - Day 293

Tonight was the Mill Brook Schools first movie night! We featured The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.  The kids got to wear their jammies and bring a blanket.  It was a lot of fun and we are already looking forward to the next one!

 

Project 365 - Day 292

Shaun is starting to read and it's really fun to see him enjoying books so much.  This is the same kid who every night after lights out, grabs his flash light and picks up a book to look at just like his Daddy used to do!

Project 365 - Day 291

Seriously! I can't get over it...when did he get so big?

Project 365 - Day 290

David makes quite the splash at swimming today!

 

Project 365 - Day 289

Working on more lighting.  Evan always wants to "say cheese" but he doesn't always stay where I need him to!  This time he listened and I thought the reflection on the table was a pretty cool visual!

Project 365 - Day 288

It isn't fall without a pile of freshly fallen leaves.

 

Project 365 - Day 287

Today I had the pleasure of photographing a friend and her family.  It was a gorgeous day, we really lucked out!  Thank you Mother Nature from giving us a break from the dreary rain!

 

Project 365 - Day 286

Beautiful Fall morning sky.

 

Project 365 - Day 285

I love photographing the boys when they have no idea I have the camera in my hand!  Eating some ice cream that Daddy picked up on his way home from the airport!

 

Project 365 - Day 284

The boys Skype with Daddy who is at an Echo training in exciting Cleveland, Ohio!  Technology is a wonderful thing!

 

Project 365 - Day 283

Very excited to have Family Center at the new school!  Today was the first session, it's a little different, but at least we didn't lose it all together!  Here are the kids singing their Hello song!

Evan helping me get some practice with finding the best light!

 

Project 365 - Day 281

Charlie ran in the Boston Half Marathon today for the fourth time. Each race he says he's peaked and yet each race he continues to improve! Though he's pretty confident that this time he really did peak for this race at least, this is a lot tougher course than the Covered Bridge Half Marathon he runs in June.

This year the boys and I found our way over to the mile 13 marker, so not quite the end but a great view of Daddy coming into the final stretch.  He wasn't expecting us to be there so he didn't see us (last year we were up in the stadium) but he said he thought he heard someone screaming "Daddy!!" but he was hauling so it wasn't like he could turn back to look!

We saw his time at mile 13 1:23:50 and I was sure he was going to beat his time from last year (1:27:17), but not so sure he was going to beat his best time of 1:25:01 but we would have to wait until we found him at the meeting place because we didn't get to see him cross the finish line.  Turns out not only did he beat his time from last year by almost THREE minutes, but he beat his best overall time finished at 1:24:25!  We are so proud!!  Way to go Daddy!!

 

Project 365 - Day 280

Shaun & Delaney's soccer teams played each other today.  They apparently weren't feeling it, and decided to get their Zen on by doing a little Yoga instead.  

 

Project 365 - Day 279

Sportsmanship!

Project 365 - Day 278

The Red Maple's new home, and I LOVE it!  Next year we'll revamp the walkway and redesign the flower garden and all traces of the previous owner will be gone!

 

Project 365 - Day 277

Tonight Charlie cut down the last 2 trees that were out front. Tomorrow, unless it's pouring, I suppose!) the landscaper is coming to move the Red Maple tree from in front of the house and into that spot where the oaks were. I'm really excited to not have any trees right in front of our house anymore.

Project 365 - Day 276

Taking a quick snack break before getting back to playing.
