Wrapping up P365 III

Wow, so apparently, since I've been doing it for three years, I am capable of taking a photo a day! My goal for 2010 is to try to post more regularly - I'm going to aim for every Sunday, if not more often (please please please hold me to that!)

A quick summary of 2009
  • 208 pictures had people in them
  • 22 pictures of people had Alex in them
  • 186 pictures of people had J in them
  • 119 pictures were of things
  • 65 pictures were of places
  • 8 posts had some combination of people, place and thing
  • 1 picture was taken on the A400, 331 pictures were taken on the G7, 33 pictures were taken on some other camera
  • 293 pictures were in Vancouver (which really means the Lower Mainland), 38 were in Kelowna, the rest were in Nelson, the UK or somewhere else in BC
  • 1 picture were of knitting (I bet that means I'm not knitting as much!)
  • 8 pictures were of plants or flowers - more than I would have thought
  • 7 posts had more than one picture
  • 8 pictures were birthday related
Some of my favourite posts this year were:
Do you have a favourite?? Let me know if you do!

This is the last post of 2009 - bring on 2010!!! Happy New Year everyone!

Carrying On The Tradition

311209
We often have curried shrimp for dinner on New Years, so tonight, J and I had just that. Alex is working, so I'm probably going to celebrate New Years with the people in the Eastern Time Zone and call it an early night!

Happy New Year everyone!

With Her Purse

301209
J has an obsession with purses and bags right now...she likes to fill them with stuff and carry them around. We're not sure if the hand on the ear is to keep the bag from falling off her arm or if she's talking on the phone...

Asleep In The Airport

281209
It's very tiring dropping one person off and picking another up at the airport...really...okay, so to be fair, Alex did start work at 5:00 this morning so he'd been up since 3:00 or something ridiculous like that...and J didn't have an afternoon nap.

Big Gloves

271209
J refused to wear gloves today and her little hands were like ice cubes. Then Paula had a brilliant idea - J loved wearing Paula's gloves and her hands warmed up. I think Paula had cold hands though!

Christmas Dancing

261209
We had a second Christmas (well, actually third) today with Alex's family. The girls love each other and had a great time dancing under the tree!

Stockings

251209
J wasn't quite sure what to do with the stockings. She was good at handing them out, but it took a bit to get the idea of taking the stuff out of the stocking!

Merry Christmas!

Angel

231209
Our angel overwhelms our tree this year - it's meant for the bigger tree, but we opted for a three foot tree on a table to keep it away from little fingers!

Bright Nights

221209
We went to Stanley Park today to try to take the train, but unfortunately it was all sold out. J loved the lights and didn't even notice that we didn't go on the train.

Science World

211209
Paula took J to Science World with her today. I had to go to work for a few hours and J's sitter is already gone away for Christmas, so it was great (for all of us) to have Paula take J. They had a great time together and I got lots more done in much less time than I would have if J had come with me!

Big Baby!

201209
On our way to see Alex's parents today, we stopped in to see some friends who have a new baby - she's six weeks old. J loved her bouncy chair and spent a lot of time lying it gazing at the Christmas tree!

It's Snowing From The Sky

191209
We spent today at Grouse Mountain and while it was sleet-snowing when we got there, Paula did get to see "real" snow just before we left - it was snowing very hard!

Little Cheerleader

181209
Part of Paula's Christmas present was a Giants hockey game. J is already a big fan of hockey games - she claps and cheers and dances and points at the blimp. Here she's heckling the ref. Yeah. That's it.

M&S Baby Clothes

161209
We bought a few teeny tiny outfits for some friends' babies when we were in the UK. I love love love Marks and Spencer and wish we had them here.

Chaos Times Two

141209
So who knew that twice the toddlers could create ten times the mess! J's little friend Inara came over tonight for a few hours while her parents went out - the girls had fun (they spend most days together when I'm at work). They had a great time!

A New Bed?

131209
My friend Paula arrives from South Africa tomorrow and she'll be sharing a room with J for two weeks. We set her bed up tonight and J was pretty excited to see the bed and crawl all over it!

New Lights

121209
Jared came over today to help Alex install our new light fixtures. The living room, dining and kitchen all got new fixtures. We love them. I don't have any before-after pictures as they were well into it by the time I got home. You can see our hideous old chandelier and the one little halogen spot in this post from over there. The lights in the kitchen were the same type of lights as the halogen spot. This one isn't completely installed in this picture...I'll post the rest of the lights eventually.

Ready For Company

101209
101209
J is going to have a roommate for a couple of weeks, so I finally got rid of the baby stuff she's no longer using and the clothes she's out grown (and by "got rid of" I mean packed up and put into storage). It also means her changing space has moved out of the bathroom and into the bedroom and onto the change table...that only took, oh, almost 16 months.

Apples

It's not only finally hanging, it is also finally framed! I love it!

Index Print

081209
I got some pictures back today and had a few copies made for J. She was far more interested in the index print and all its tiny images than her own pictures...

Christmas Cards

It's time...maybe they'll be out before Christmas, but I'm not promising it...

All Dressed Up

061209
I tried to get a picture of J in her Christmas dress today, but she really didn't want to sit still. Finally I gave her a book and her "big girl chair" and she sat still (kind of) long enough to get a sort of decent picture. I'm going to have to try again...maybe with Alex to help me distract her!

Poinsettias

Our poinsettias arrived today - it must be time for Christmas...maybe I'll feel like it by this time next week...
