PROJECT 365 PICTURE OF THE DAY 6/23/11

Kickball feet...our team of 5 is now back and complete...love this photo of the boys and their feet. I barely got Zach's foot in but I did, and I think this may ultimately be one of my favorite photos of the summer...the photo itself and the story of our "Family Kickball Night" we have almost every night/day in the summer.

"I want to walk on water"...a very simple statement from Chris during the summer of 2002. During that summer, the boys (Nick and Chris) took swimming lessons at Columbine Knolls along with the Kimmey kids. Zach did take some lessons also, however, usually was sitting at the edge of the baby pool "observing" instead :). This photo was one of the first of him jumping off the diving board. He really didn't show any fear as he walked to the edge...and then he JUMPED and for just a moment, he really did walk on water. This is an all-time favorite photo and it is proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Finally, a day without a downpour and time to start planting the flowers we started buying last weekend when the rain started. Woo HOO! Thanks to Todd for doing the grunt work while I directed from the step. It has been a great day and looking forward to working on our yard more tomorrow. As a neighbor walked by, she said "you know you have one of the best yards in the whole neighborhood." with a big smile...now that is such a great compliment and made both Todd and I very pleased.

SNOW DAY...ACTUALLY MORE LIKE TOO COLD TO HAVE SCHOOL DAY...The district announced that the schools would be closed today because of the dangerously cold temps. Not one of us could complain about that and it's been a fabulous day. The temperatures have not been above zero...well, maybe 2 degrees at one point, but that is the high. Zach decided to bundle up and shovel for a little while. He said it was fine until the wind picked up. Nick just saw that it was -27 degrees wind chill factor...so there was a reason it was so bad with the wind. Thanks Zach! You did a great job.
