Now that we are into 2014....(I'm a little behind of course)  I thought I should post the rest of the "This is Our Life" project 52 pics.    Let's start with week 13.    Check the previous post for pics 1-12.    This was really tons of fun and now looking back I really love that I got through it and finished with 52 pics that really sum up our everyday.  Doing this project really made me see how important it is to catch my family in the here and now, in our everyday, doing what we do....even when it isn't pretty.  So many of these images just scream what daily life is really like in my house.  And so many of these images are show things I never want to forget about my family.    I've already started another project....a little less structured because my life is seriously lacking "structure" right now.    So many changes....but more on that in another post.
