Just Us
I accepted an invitation several weeks ago to join the Flickr group 52 weeks, my kid(s) and me, and have never posted to it. (I have a gnawing feeling that there are a lot of things that I said that I would do or joined -- or something -- that I haven't done. Only I can't think of what they are.)
Anyway, I finally decided that I would start it this week, especially with today being February 1, and the time for me to decompress after the holidays has probably passed. So new projects it is. 52 weeks of self-portraits of me and my wee ones (I think Fridays sound pretty good), and the Virtual Quilting Bee begins this month, too. (And I'd just like to say that I am so flattered to have been asked to join this group. The other ladies in this group are so very talented. It's going to be fantastic.) And "birthday season" at our house is now rolling into gear (mine at the end of this month, James's in March, and Elisabeth's in April), so there will be work on projects for those, and Easter falls into that mix, as well. And, I have another very special something in the works, so stay tuned...
Anyway, Hello, February! Hello New Projects! Goodbye Christmas of 2007! (You were great, and I learned a lot from you, and now you are passed. Thank goodness.)
You've reminded me I was supposed to be doing this too. Elle looks so much like you.

How lovely! I would love to try the same, though I have to say that it sounds a little easier than it probably is...I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the inspiration!

Lucie is literally smiling and waving at you three as I try and nurse her to sleep...

It's just such a great photo of you all. I can't wait to see what the VQB produces - lucky you!

I love the picture! I am always complaining to my husband that there are so few pictures of me with my family--I'm always behind the camera! I've been lurking on your blog since Advent, and it's funny to have gotten to "know" your voice and your kids a bit, but not know what you look like! Happy Candlemas to you, and blessings on your new creative project.

I've tagged you for a meme on my blog, Grace:)

Love the picture - and the idea! Something I'll be joining in on.
By the way, I was reading your FAQ and I would love to have a "one on one" chat with you about homeschooling whenever you have the time. I am new to this, and your ideas sound similar to what our thoughts are.
Please email me at your convenience!

How fun! I'm going to copy you :)

This is a great shot - like most of the pix on your blog. I don't normally read the crafty and/or mama blogs, but I couldn't stop looking at all your dope pictures and beautiful crafty projects. I'm totally adding uncommon grace to my google reader. Also, you and I have almost the exact same hair. It's kinda freaky.
