Week 30/52 | Euphoria

This week’s theme is Euphoria.  I love this photo of Henry.  I think it fits the theme perfectly!

Week 29/52 | Me

This past week’s theme was Me.  This one was hard for me.  There were lots of things I thought about doing, but nothing really ended up being just right.  But, I took my kids with me to my hometown to visit my parents this weekend, and took this shot of what was my “backyard” growing up.  My backyard is quite different now.

Week 28/52 | Time

The theme two weeks ago was Time.  The swings at the kiddie carnival in my hometown used to be my favorite ride.  It doesn’t seem like enough time has passed so that my daughter can enjoy the same ride.

Week 27/52 | Addicted

The week before last week’s theme was addicted.  I’ve given up a lot of things – and two of the biggest are cigarettes and nicotine.  But I can’t give up my {decaf} coffee.  And the best thing is to get a coffee for my husband and me, strap the kids into their carseats, and go for a long ride.  It’s so nice to spend a little time with my husband, and enjoy my remaining addiction.

Week 26/52 | Friendship

I keep falling behind!!!  I hope I’ll be caught up by this weekend.  I seriously don’t understand how anyone does a Project 365.  I can barely keep up with a Project 52!

Anyway, the topic for week 26 was friendship.  Every single day, Piper and Rosemary (my identicals), get closer and closer.  In a way it scares me, but in a way I wish that I had an identical twin.  It’s an amazing bond.  They definitely show friendship in every way.
