This is also what happens when you are gone every night.

Piles and piles of laundry.  Thankful for a washer and dryer.

6/365 Wednesday 11-6-13

Since last Thursday we haven't been watching our weekly shows.  And since we are gone every evening out at the rehab hospital to see Mom, we got behind.
Tonight we will see how close we get to caught up.

I stayed with the kids a little while this morning.  They have lots of windows in the dining area so I practiced with the natural light.

This is pretty unusual for her to stand this still, but she was looking for their dog in the yard.

This was Noah's first Jr High band concert.  He is following in his Grandpa and Grandma's footsteps by playing the trumpet.

It's pretty tricky getting good exposure and white balance in a gym.  Still have some learning to do.

I'm sure there will be many many more concerts and pictures.

HE DID IT!!!!!!  He finished his very first marathon.  It wasn't as fast as he wanted but he started having knee and feet issues  the last 4 miles that slowed him down.

His main goal was to finish and he did that.  As for the next marathon? he said he will stick to 5k's

2/365 Saturday 11-2-13

Brian has been training for a marathon for 16 weeks.  He registered for the Bass Pro Marathon in Springfield a month ago.

This was the big week-end.  We made a very quick trip to Springfield Saturday afternoon to spend the night for the marathon on Sunday.

We went to Bass Pro to pick up his packet and this is number and his new shirt.  He sure looks like he is ready to run the marathon.

1/365 Friday 11-1-13

Well so much for getting off to a good start considering I'm over a week late in getting my blog updated.  I have been successful in taking the picture every day, just no time to get the blog up and going.  So,  now that I have made a start, I hope to stay on top of daily or at least every other day blog posting.

This was not how I had planned for my 365 project to start.  I was going to make it a priority to take, edit, journal and post my picture everyday.  But then life happened the evening before the first day of the project.

My Mom and Dad came up to celebrate Halloween with all 8 great-grandkids.  They wanted to see them all dressed up and to see all the trick or treaters.

I took them out to our youngest sons house the afternoon of Halloween to see those 4 kids because they were going to trick or treat in their neighborhood instead of coming in to our neighborhood.  They were all getting their costumes on and my Mom was going to get up on a bar stool and sit and watch.  In the process, she fell off the stool, which was high off the floor and landed on her right side.

After much pain and trying to figure out what was hurt, we loaded her up and got her to the hospital.  The good news was, she didn't break her hip.  The bad news was, she broke her pelvis.  So they admitted her to the hospital.

This was taken Friday evening while we were keeping her company and entertaining her.  This will be a long healing process which includes time at a rehab hospital.

So suffice it to say, this was where I spent my day.
