Moving...
I changed my mind... even before 2011 started! I can't keep up with more than one blog and sometimes one blog is a challenge. I am copying the posts I have done over to our family blog and will be doing the 7 in 7 (trying anyway) over there and just tagging those posts so at the end of the year I will have 365 pictures of our life. See you there: The S Family Adventures

Week of November 7, 2011
Okay, this is really going to be 7 1/2 pictures... I'll start with the 1/2 because no one should see a picture of my ugly foot full size:
I slipped down our garage stairs on the 4th and half of the top of my foot and four toes are still painfully bruised (this picture is from the 9th). I was very upset because on the 13th I was supposed to run my last official race, an 8k, before the baby comes.
I decided to run anyway after not running since the injury, and ironically, my foot didn't hurt AT ALL running! Getting shoes on and off is now the only painful part. I am thrilled to say I ran the entire way... all 5 miles (slowly, in 63 minutes and my goal was 65!); there was even a short sprint (to the porta-potty) at mile 2!
I did get a giggle looking at my chip. Not only was it a reminder that my large shirt is a size bigger than last year's (and even that size is pretty close to not fitting at this point) but also printed on the chip was my parents' phone number... I had listed them as my emergency contact.
After the race Doug and I went to the Richmond Spiders game at the new stadium. They won, the stadium is really nice, and it was a great day!
This picture was my first attempt back at more portrait style pictures... it has been months since I have really focused (no pun intended) on setting my camera up properly for lighting and exposure and such but I have a few families that have asked me to take pictures for them in the coming weeks so I decided I needed practice. Just in my kitchen but I thought this came out well... of course she is just beautiful anyway!
And then this note just cracked me up. I made him add in the "please" and the "Love" from the original if he was going to have me go through the extra effort (he typically eats a waffle with peanut butter); after breakfast Monday he made the other change.

Week of Oct 31, 2010
Well, not exactly the greatest start... all 7 pictures are from the same day ~ the only day I took pictures all week! But it is a start! Here are my favorites:
Caleb's last flag football game...
A friend's party out at a farm...
And one that is just a tiny bit Halloweenish since this is the week of Halloween (the town celebrated on the 30th so all my pictures are from last week!):
