project: life.
one instagram at a time.
the best and only way i've discovered so far
to not miss anything, thanks to my iphone.
and to amylovesyoga, who either deserves
the credit or the blame for this obsession.
i have about a bazillion projects in progress,
but this is february's:

treasure hunt.

it's super fun to find pinecones that should
be buried under two feet of snow.
given that it's february. in wisconsin.
and take pictures of a pretty girl in pretty light.
no complaints here.

toss up.

it's a toss up which jane likes better:
playing baseball with hayden
or laying in front of the fire with court.
all i know is that we're grateful she plays with him...
nobody else wants to stand unprotected
on that side of the ball while he's batting.

skipping rope.

goal: 100 jumps by sunday evening.

just like riding a bike.

you know that what-if-i-forgot-how-to-ride-my-bike?-kind of
feeling you used to get every spring when you were little?

that's how she felt yesterday, except it was february.
a little shaky at first, she found her balance pretty quickly.
i was trying to find something encouraging to say
that meant "it's just like riding a bike"...
but you have to know what that feels like in order
to really understand what it means.
she gets it now.






these two thought it was a good idea to ride through
the tiny hills of snow we have left.
court and jane and i thought they were nuts.
i told andy that i would label these images:
i was training for this half ironman until...

almost toothless.

this girl is about to lose her two front teeth.
these are the before shots.
