Week In The Life : Friday
Tags:
Daddy's cereal always seems to taste better than anything she has on her tray.
As much as I love the internet I still love having a morning paper.
Anna seems to like the paper too.
This morning she was carrying around Corduroy and one of her babies and going back and forth between her pink chair and Simon's red chair.
Insert missing photos of an oatmeal breakfast, a cool vegan doughnut shop for a visit with a friend, & a great bike workout at the gym.
Chris and I attended the Demobilization & Change of Command Ceremonies for 2-162 Infantry of our local National Guard. They were returning home after 9 months in Iraq. God Bless the volunteers.
Chris talking with Representative Nancy Nathanson.
This is the face of a boy who was not too happy to be heading out of town on a car trip on a Friday afternoon. He really just wanted to go home. Normally he loves going to the city to stay in a hotel but today he was just plain tired from the past week. Completely understandable.
This is the face of a girl who likes checking out cool hotels in Portland. Chris needed to attend a fundraiser dinner so we all decided to come. This time we stayed at The Nines.
Our room.
Anna and the couch.
Looking up.
Friday has been a blur.
It's been one of those days packed full with stuff where you zoom from one thing to the next. It's been good stuff...just at a much faster pace than I normally like (with a couple speed bumps along the way for good measure of course).
Looking forward to documenting the weekend and everything that goes along with a Saturday & Sunday for us right now.
Hugging my kids and my husband extra tight tonight.

How exciting to go and stay at a hotel. I love hotels, always wanted to work in one while growing up. Your room is so pretty. What an exciting week you've had. I love all the photos, Anna and Simon are cute as always. I have to ask doesn't Anna take all those books off the bookshelf I see in the background of your pictures? I'm loving this week Ali, thanks so much. I have posted my photos from Wednesday if anyone wants to check it out.... http://everydaymemorieswithprojectlife.blogspot.com
Have a fun Saturday everybody!!

Love the pics of the troops. My "baby" brother will be coming home from Afghanistan soon. It can't come soon enough. I sometimes feel it's too easy to forget about all they give up for us. Thanks for including them in your week.
Love the other pictures too.

so happy to see you supporting the troops and all that they do. my husband is currently in Afghanistan and even with his sacrifice being such a huge part of our lives- it is easy to overlook everything they do.

Love, love , love your photos again!!! My favorite is Anna reading the paper, priceless! :) My Friday was like your Wednesday... nothing much going on and the motivation was not there.
With all the weekend activities I should get re-energized til the finish!

The Nines...did you see Pioneer Woman there? Just kiddin'...but she was there last week with her daughter and Mother-in-Law for a book signing and she also stayed at The Nines. She also loved the hotel and the bohemian, eclectic look.

The first photo of Cris feeding Anna is wonderful. His stance, a sort of just get this over look. I wish I had that photo of my husband with the kids.

Looks like the little girl was enjoying checking out the hotel ALMOST as much as the big girl! ;-)

My Friday went nothing like planned, the lack of photos will prove it. Guess it's a bigger journalling day.

I really like that you have all these different pictures of the day.
That did not work out for me this round. I did write full report each evening (ok, I did yesterday's tonight as well...) and have just a few pictures of each day.
Doesn't matter, I will just work with what I have.
But for next year, I think I need to use a timer or alarm to remember myself to take pictures. Like, set the timer for each hour or so. And I will definitely keep a notebook with me all day, so I can write little tidbits throughout the day. It's amazing how difficult it can be to remember what you did just a few hours ago. Weird.
Can't believe we have only one more day to go!
Looking forward to the assembling of the album next week!

I love that you've shared your week with your beautiful family! Good for you for documenting the week...Babies change so quickly! And I'm missing my morning Detroit Free Press that used to be delivered to my door in Detroit...they'll deliver the Fort Wayne paper in Indiana, but it's not the same.
