Day 2 (Project 365)

"Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal:

my strength lies soley in my tenacity."

~Louis Pasteur

Another long and exhausting day. Five kids. 14 hours. 30 bumps. 20 bangs. Countless screams. Two boo-boos. One cool bug. And finally bed time! Whew!

The set of photos above is the photo of the day. There were just so many good ones to choose from! I decided on this set, because this really sets the tone of how my little family is. And thats what this is about, finding one photo that tells about our lives. She worked so hard to get up on the beam, for so long, almost giving up, but didn't. And finally she made it and was so proud!

It was a pretty good day, all in all. We all had a great time at the park, although the two younger girls hogged the swings, and boys got too rough. Another family of kids came out to play at the same time, so there was someone for everyone. I had a great time capturing the little moments on camera, only putting it down to play catch with boys and a football or to push the swings.

"A 3-year-old child is a being

who gets almost as much fun out of a

fifty-six dollar set of swings as

he does out of finding a small green worm."

My first day with this new blog. Well, actually this is my first day with any blog. I am a bit nervous about this. Its been awhile since I last wrote anything meaningful.

This week has been very stressful for me, as I've been taking care of two extra kids, on top of my normal everyday activities. The girls' mom went in a bit earlier than expected to have her cesarean done. The girls are excited to have another sister!

Of course, my kiddos are loving the company. Its been complete chaos here. The photo I am going to try to post in a minute are of the kids, minus 1, playing at the park tonight.
