Project 365 - June & July

Yeah, that's right. You are going to get two months worth of pictures in one shot. The good news is, I will just link them from FB so that you don't have to wait for oodles of pictures to load.

Summer time!

That is our entire summer album to date. Feel free to check in again over the course of the summer. There will be additions. :)

I won't leave you with only an album. I have been doing little photo documentaries as well that I will share with you.

The first one is: NDI @ 18-months. This is what NDI looks like for us right now. I just took pics of some fun stuff that I thought might give non-NDIers a glimpse inside.

We need a Head Bottle Washer.


Diaper sale....NDI-style!


Nothing like a diaper pail right next to your bed and in both upstairs bathrooms and in Orin's room...yikes.


Two days worth of Orin's laundry. Mostly bedding and pjs because, before his med change, I was changing his bed 3 times per night.


When it wasn't a gazillion degrees, I had 2-3 pair of jammies hanging on my headboard at any one time because he needed to be changed so many times through the night.


Also, because I am going for my surgery soon, I felt it was in my/Orin's best interest to get his room set up and move him in. Here's the end result:

I haven't fogotten about you...I promise

Though I can see how you might think that. I just had to put others before me for a while since I will be basically useless for a month soon. You are now wondering "Why is she being so damn cryptic? Spit it out woman!!" Well, I am having a pretty major surgery on July 29th.

The month of June was spent much like this:


While you may THINK this is a group of women sprinting, it is, in fact a group of teachers just trying to get everything required of them during the final month of school completed.

July has been spent mostly getting the house up to snuff (it tends to lag in cleanliness and tidiness throughout the school year because I'd rather spend my free time with my family) and spending time with the kiddos :) I've also been trying to get things in place for when I go for my surgery. I would like to leave everyone as well off as possible so that the kids, husband and family coming to assist them (to whom I am immensely grateful) have a smooth transition and little disruption. This may be wishful thinking.

I will post pics of what we've been up to next, but in the meantime, here's the link to my surgery journal blog
