Todd, if you are reading this...I do have all the Project 365 pictures taken and up to date and a list of what I need to blog. I got a little overwhelemed in September and got behind, but I am going to post these pics I have taken on the blog along with their writeups...and I'm starting this week so STAY TUNED! This blog will be updated before you know it.

PROJECT 365 PICTURE OF THE DAY 9/15/11

While we watched TR Boys tennis into the early evening, we had a beautiful view of the sky and the sunset. To me, it looks like a tennis ball in motion (going the wrong way, but you get the effect). It didn't last for long, but the sky was so beautiful and we had a great view. This was taken right as Nick was playing his 4 doubles match which they won 6-3, 6-2. Sure hope they keep the energy they have together because they are a good team together. Thankful for being able to be there to watch him.

Today, mom had her second knee replacement. She just had the first one in May so this was a quick turn around. We waited in the waiting room longer than usual because she stayed in recovery as they got a room ready for her. In this photo, I think we are all getting a little wiped out, loopy and very relieved the surgery had gone well. Now, it's on to the recovery and getting comfortable and back on her feet. The courage, grace and faith she has within is such a gift to us all.

Always good to see Pam when she comes out. In the past, she brought her sweet cocker spaniel, Corkie, with her and the dogs would play, hangout, eat cheese while we caught up. This past year, Corkie died at the age of 8 (waaaay too young) but Pam was out to surprise her mom. Shari, Pam and I met up in Morrison and ate at Tony Rigatoni's on the back patio and then took a walk along the river and took some photos. It was fun to learn a new way to take photos of water and hopefully, I captured it (still haven't uploaded all of them so I'll have to do that soon.) Pam gave me a gift certificate to Liquid Spa which is by our house just for being a friend and helping others...so not necessary and I was a bit overwhelmed by the kindness of that and very appreciated. Can't wait to use it...thinking a really nice pedicure would be perfect.

PROJECT 365 PICTURE OF THE DAY 9/11/11

Ten years...ten years since that horrendous day where our lives changed forever. My heart is filled with so much emotion today and sometimes, it's almost impossible to bear. Everybody has the "where was I when this happend" story and then there are the families, those directly affected, those whose actions impacted the day...so many facets to this story than will always need to be told...but for today, it's time to REMEMBER and never never forget.

#1 is on the field for the start of another fall soccer season. Back with a group of friends he has played with for many years and new players, he hit the field with Zach Triplett as captains. For the best couple of seasons, we weren't sure if this would be the last, but he keeps coming back. Somehow, I really do think this will be it, but who knows. Todd is coaching again. When Zach got to choose a number for his uniform, he said #1...when I asked him why 1? He said, why wouldn't I want to be #1. Good point.

As I sat on the couch today, this is the view I see on the ottomon...lots of electronics including two tv clickers, Wii controller, Zach's X- box controllers, my IPad and my ever present cell phone.
