Project Life Tuesday: Week One

I’m so excited to start this new project!  My husband blessed me with this  Cannon Rebel for Christmas! 

I’ve always wanted an SLR camera.  So now the fun begins!  I’m scheduled to take a basic digital camera class at the end of the month, I have so much to learn.

One of my wonderful neighbors told me about the Project Life Kit that she received and how she was going to do a photo journal for the year.  After talking with her I decided it was the perfect timing for me too.

I’ll be using ShutterCal  plus this meme to get it going.  I’m looking forward to sharing my pictures and viewing yours as well.  What a neat way to create a photo record of all the events of an entire year!

Thank you Jessica for making this available to us.  Looking forward to getting to know all of you out there.

I’m the mother of five sons, and now an excited proud Grammy of three beautiful little girls and one adorable baby boy!  I finally got my girls, and I’m having the best time of my life surrounded by my wonderful family.

This was taken New Years Day. My older sister Mary and her daughters came out to spend the day with us.  I always enjoy Mary's visit's.

January 4

Ok, this may look strange, but on this day I started my 21 day Daniel Fast.  Our church along with many others in the US are doing this fast to begin the year.  We’re believing for break-throughs with our family and the nation in 2010.

Winter came in a big way to Louisiana this past week!  We have been having our fire place going daily! I’m so thankful for a nice warm house.

January 6

My daughter-in-love came out to spend the day with us.  The school she teaches at was closed due to the freezing weather.  Yes, in Louisiana it doesn’t take much in the way of cold to shut us down.  What a wonderful excuse to see my grandbabies during the week!

I was using the sports setting on my new camera.  It was fun watching my grand-daughter playing on our trampoline the other day.

January 8

Here is my grandson Cole!     Oh isn’t he just adorable?  He reminds me so much of his dad.  It’s seems like yesterday my son was his age.  If you still have young children, please cherish each moment!

 

January 9

My neighbor took this picture for me.  This is Jane, my Russian daughter.  We first met Jane as a young teenager on a missions trip 17 years ago.  We’ve remained very close over  the years.  Jane is in the US now visiting her boyfriend’s family.  We spent 7 wonderful days together.  I miss her already~
