2015 ~ Week 7 part 1

We spent the first part of this week at home, with an ice storm, and a sick baby. The second half of the week we spent at the beach. A very cold, cold beach. Because we were at the beach, with lots of free time, I have a ton of pictures. So I'm dividing this into two posts.

The Bean doing his "homework". He takes it very seriously. Now, if I only could get the son who actually HAS homework to take it half that seriously!!

These next few are from the Children's museum at the beach. It was freezing, so we had to come up with some indoor activities.

There was some beach renourishment going on while we were there, and the boys loved watching the tractors move the sand up and down the beach.

If he had a window that that kind of afternoon light pouring through at home, I'd have daily nap pictures!!

We went to a park one afternoon, even though it was below freezing, and really windy. The boys still had fun!

2015 ~ Week 6

The bug has pretty much mastered the stairs. One of his favorite things to do is to bring each of us things that are laying around the house. Shoes and coats are a favorite, and he's bringing the Bean his shoes in the pics below.

Spring soccer has started. The Bean finally gets to play, after watching from the sidelines for so long. He is on the Biscuits team, and is the smallest one out there.

2015 ~ Week 5

I am so far behind. In everything! I am going to get caught up, but be patient with me :).

These weekly posts were a New Years resolution from 2014. One that I actually stuck with and managed to accomplish. I wanted to keep it up for 2015, but I also wanted to change it up a bit, and give myself a new challenge related to photography.

It took me awhile to decide what exactly I wanted to do, but finally decided I wanted to attempt a 365 project again. I tried once before, and failed miserably. Not that it needs explaining, but that is where you take at least one photo a day. Most people start on January 1st. However, since it took me a while to decide, I didn't start until February 1st. I originally was going to post each picture here, but couldn't figure out how to post them on a separate tab. I decided instead to post them each day on Instagram, which is far simpler and more efficient. In addition to the photography challenge, I'm also using this to take a moment each day to be grateful. That part of it I very nonchalantly threw in, and it has had a huge impact on me and the way I approach my days. While I still intend to still post here, it may not be as timely as it once was (was it ever?). If you want to follow the 365 project on Instagram, I am @akmwaters and am using the hashtag #akmw365. If you don't want to mess with that, most of the pictures will make their way here, so no worries!

Now, the 365 project has led to a whole new problem. I have a TON more pictures (& less time to post them). So get ready for massive picture shares!!
