Life Happens Between the Pictures

Sam and I were inspired last night after looking through the many, many photo albums Steve and Jenne' have filled. They take pictures of everything, everywhere, all the time. It's incredible, and it's fun.

It got us to thinking. We're so used to photographing the special days in our life, the birthdays, the holidays, the school events. What if instead we photographed the mundane, the routine, the ordinary, the very things that make up the majority of the moments we experience day to day?

So we decided to document our day today, Saturday, August 12th, as a day in our life in pictures. It's probably not surprising that what started as an ordinary Saturday, ended up feeling extraordinary once we turned the attention of our camera lens on it.

Thank God for weekends, we love to sleep in.














I get up a little before Sam so I can spend a few minutes meditating.















Sam sleeps till the last possible moment.














Miko complains that his bowl is nearly empty.















We work out every Saturday morning at Fitness Together.























































Back home to shower and get ready for the rest of the day.
















Sam checks his e-mail while he waits for me to get ready.

















I'm ready, but make Sam wait while I make a post to this blog.















We're off!






























First stop, Rose Nails in Corinth so I can use the Pedicure Gift Certificate I received as a birthday gift. Ran into Jennifer Mann and Molly Proffer while I was there.



















We decide to go to lunch at the new Harvey House Diner in Union Station.















Mmmmmm. Banana Cream Pie. It was good!




























We decide to spend a couple of hours exploring Union Station. We see Fighter Pilots on the Imax Extreme Screen. Sam is in heaven!

































Next stop Costco. Ughh! We spy a cool entertainment center that hides a flat screen tv, but we maintain discpline and leave with only the things we went in to buy. Whew!









































Time to wash my new car. It's a bit of an adventure since the guys at the car wash don't know how to drive it.














It's been a great afternoon, but as we return home we are reminded that we probably should have spent some time trimming the yard. Oh well.















We're home just in time for Sam to watch the Chiefs game!














Checking the mail. It's a good day -no bills!














Getting ready for bed.



















My favorite part of the day, reading in bed before I go to sleep.
