We were lucky enough to have both Great Grandma and Daddy in town all at the same time! So I snapped a Four Generations Shot!!
Stay tuned for more fun stories and photos over the next few days as I get going!!
Four Generations! (And a teaser!)
I'm in the process of sifting through the 1000+ photos I took over Thanksgiving Weekend! But I wanted to give you a teaser shot! (I'm sort of going backwards through my memory card, so it's one of the last shots I took!)

Bye Bye Daddy...
Hi everyone!
It's me, Skyler, again. Mommy is busy getting ready for our Thanksgiving today, so I wanted to write you a quick letter.
My Daddy left yesterday, he was only home for a few days. But we had a lot of fun while he was here.
We both wore are 'Ari shirts. (Mommy says to tell you that it's actually Ferrari, and that I just say it 'cute'.)
Mommy and Daddy both cooked a really yummy turkey dinner too. We had Turkey, and stuffing. Mashed potatoes, gravy and Cranberries. My favorite was the Potatoes, I think because I got to help mash them. That was fun, and messy!

Daddy is Home!
Daddy has been home for 3 days now, and Skyler is about as happy as any little girl could be!
We've had a lot of fun playing outside (the weather here in Southern Colorado has been beautiful! Mid to upper 60's!)
But so far, her favorite activity has been playing Candy Land! (Her first ever attempt at a board game!!) While she was definitely too young to actually play, she did have a ton of fun trying to learn her colors and move the little men around the board.

A Year In The Life...
Back in 2008, I embarked on an adventure. I took 365 self portraits! A full year of getting in front of the camera every day.
As a photographer, I spend most of my time BEHIND the camera, so the project forced me to have a few shots of myself. I loved the project, but it was a bit tough trying to figure out a new way to take a photo of myself every day.
Which brings me to the real reason for this post.
November 15, 2009 I took a photo of Skyler. I'd intended it to be for our Christmas cards, but it ended up kicking off a 2nd year of insanity! This time, it was more a project to document my life for a year. Our family.
So I've completed my year. 365 consecutive photographs. And I thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you :) (It is kind of fun to see how much Skyler has changed and grown in the past year! )
Day 44, I got this beautiful photo of Skyler. (No real story behind it, she's just too cute!)
Day 51 we brought home Presephone from the local humane society.
Day 112, I turned 28. My Great Grandmother Celebrated her 100th birthday!
Day 212 I returned to Camp Kitaki for the first time in almost a decade!
Day 217, Skyler turned 2!
Day 293 we surprised Ryan's Parents with a 40th Anniversary Party!
We also had some not so happy moments in the year, but I feel they are worth mentioning because they are part of what helps us grow and move forward.
Day 19 I came home to find that our house had been broken into.
Day 72, Skyler had her first Ear Infection.

Let's Play a Quick Game of Catch-Up!
I realize you are all long overdue on a fix of Skyler photos! I promise those will be coming soon!
I've spent much of this month wrapped up in NaNoWriMo! And since having finished my latest 365 photo project (yes, more photos to come soon!) I have been neglecting my camera.
I spent yesterday glued to the Television (Watching News of the Royal Engagement!)
Guess that shows how exciting my life is! *LOL* I wish I had something profound and insightful to write.
I just wanted to send a quick message to let everyone know that both Skyler and I are alive and well! Just distracted!! (And now I must cut this short as well, I'm being called to watch Bob the Builder!
