 January 22: Electric

This is not really original but it's all I could think of. Here's our good ole' electric box. Exciting, I know!

 January 23: Sun

What a great sight to see in the middle of winter in Michigan.

 January 24: Shadow

Luckily, it's been sunny a lot lately, so I was able to capture the sun shining, creating this shadow on our carpet (with a little photo bomb from Buddy).

 January 25: Looking Up

Look at that beautiful blue sky! Also rare for a Michigan winter.

 January 26: Looking Down

I have been teaching for several days and brought the camera into the classroom. Here's is what I captured on the classroom floor.

 January 27: Cloud 9

I asked the students what they thought I could do for "cloud 9" and here is what they came up with. Getting lost in their books!

January 28: Easy

Well, Buddy certainly has an easy life! Love this little furball of mine!

Photo A Day

Here are Days 13-18! I've been trying my best to keep up with this challenge. I really want to achieve this challenge and then at the end of the year, have a collection of photos from the year! :)

 January 13: Three Things

These three things happened to be on our kitchen counter. Kevin's vice grips, a magazine that came in the mail and the book to my car.

 January 14: Reflection

Can you see Kevin & Buddy's reflection in the TV?

 January 15: Play

Buddy's daily activity 

 January 16: Beautiful

Here is a picture hanging in our house that I love.

Happy New Year!

Ok, so it's already the second week of January but I haven't written a post since December, so Happy New Year!! This year, I am doing a photo challenge. I've attempted this before and didn't do so well, so I hoping to stay on top of it this year and complete the challenge. The challenge is to take a photo a day. I printed out a calendar for each month of the year that has what pictures to take each day of the week. This challenge is on my Pinterest page if you want to check it out.  I'm doing good so far and haven't missed a day. I am going to share my photos here to keep me accountable for doing this challenge (and maybe it will even encourage some of you to try it). Here's what I have so far!  Here's to a new year and a new challenge! 

January 1: Celebrate

We celebrated New Year's Eve with some good friends!

 January 2: Resolution

One of my resolutions is to read through the entire bible. I printed a handy guide to help me along the way. I found the guide on Pinterest (of course)!

January 3: Favorite

Of course Kevin & Buddy are my pick for Favorite!!

 January 4: Relax

I am certainly relaxing in the basement while watching "The Amazing Race" on the big screen.

January 5: Organized

Here is a picture of my bill payment sheet. This is how we keep track of our payments to help us stay on budget.

 January 6: Work

I was supposed to work this day but my job was cancelled so I improvised and took a photo of Kevin grading his students' work (with a little assistance from Buddy of course).

January 7: Together

Some of us may be a little odd, but that's the way we like it. It's our family and we love each other!

 January 8: Yourself

I can't take a photo of myself these days without Buddy!

  

January 9: Heart

I asked Kevin to draw a heart in the snow while he was shoveling. He said no, so I improvised. 

 January 10: Ordinary

Here is Buddy doing what he does best! 

January 11: Breakfast

This is my usual breakfast. Cereal (Life or Raisin Nut Bran)

January 12: Blue

We own A LOT of blue things, so this wasn't hard. Here is a collection of blue items found around the house (my coat, my phone, Kevin's sandals and Buddy's sweatshirt).
