Bloody noses seem to be common in our house this winter.

On the bus, Day 237

There are definitely some days that I wished I lived in Boulder so that I didn't have such a long commute home.

The study of yoga, Day 234

Nicolai loves books. He has always loved books. The only obstacle in his way is that he doesn't know how to read yet, but that doesn't seem to stop him.

X-mas, Day 232

Another Christmas dinner at my good friend Roddy's house. It usually starts out as a small affair, but Roddy always ends up inviting enough people that will fit around his large table. So there was ample food, drink, and good conversation. Merry Christmas Roddy!

Holiday decorating, Day 223

I have been sick in bed most of the day, but the one thing I managed to do was paint Nicolai's toes.

Point and shoot, Day 222

This is the one and only image I shot today.

Conversations, Day 220

A wonderful visit with my family and the dialog is always interesting. I was sorry to see them leave.

The evil empire, Day 219

We drove around the "new" part of Louisville/Superior looking for a place to have coffee before we went to the movies. This part of town is filled with chain restaurants with a few local businesses thrown in the mix. We attempted to go to one of the local coffee shops,only to discover that both have recently gone out of business. Our last resort has turned into the only option....depressing.

Memory of a place, Day 218

Today we had lunch at a popular sushi restaurant in Boulder. I have many fond memories in this restaurant. One in particular I shared with Nicolai as we were eating today. When he was a few months old I went to lunch with my good friends Andrea, Roddy, and Cori. I don't know why, but I remember the meal very well. Maybe because my new baby slept soundly as we munched on sushi. Today I sat in the exact same spot where I sat approximately 5 years ago but this time my son munched on sushi with me.

Happy, Day 217

My dad and step-mom are here for a visit. I am happy they are here for the weekend. There's so much to catch-up on.

Going, Day 215

I spent the day grading at the University. My last day in the temporary building is now marked by my reflection sitting in the bathroom stall. How poignant.

In between, Day 214

Nicolai is at an interesting stage where he has these moments of independence and then the complete opposite occurs and he wants everything done for him. For example, he told me he couldn't remove the peel from the half piece of banana I gave him the other night. I just have to laugh and remember that this too shall pass.

?, Day 213

This looks nothing like the actual object....I think that's why I was so drawn to this image.

The future, Day 212

My friend Roddy is doing a series of images of people's hands with his iPhone. He photographed my hand for his project and I photographed his hand photographing my hand for mine.

Beauty, Day 211

It was one of those days where bribery became a necessity in order for Nicolai to allow me to take his photo....well worth it.

Obsession, Day 210

I have an obsession with looking at bare branches against the sky. I am constantly photographing them or thinking about photographing them when I see something that catches my eye. I am not sure where this obsession came from, but I find it interesting because before this project I never thought about them much.

Going nowhere, Day 209

Today was the worst snow storm we have had and I had to drive all around town for meetings. I was lucky to make it home in one piece.

Full moon, Day 208

It never ceases to amaze me.
