And it's mid February

This seems to happen all the time... again another half month has slipped away without a word from Los Lemleys. It has been really busy the past few weeks. We went from report cards being due to me slipping off to Tokyo for a conference to John and I both enrolled in Masters' level course work to me leaving for Hokkaido for the middle school Ski Trip. I'm also trying to manage three blogs right now - one for my classroom, one for my coursework and this one!  No wonder we are tired!

Anyways, this will be short, but there are pictures to share. The kids are well. I'll try to spend time posting about the kids soon - Maximo is READING, and swimming and "speaking in English, and Spanish and Japanese". Lola uses her two year old stubbornness and ear-shattering volume on us on a daily basis, but it cute and talking up a storm, slipping between English and Japanese.

Here are some photo albums to catch you up on Los Lemleys:

My 365 (which will not be 365 in the end) photo album. I'm not going to quit, but it's not happening everyday... and I'm losing track of which photo I'm doing for which day. I'm going to try to start to label them with the date to keep it better organized!

A Photo A Day 2013

More Photos

Report card grades and comments are due this coming Friday morning, so we have been busy finishing up semester one.  Luckily, my project 365 - a photo a day has pushed me to take a lot of photos.  One really great outcome is that I take a lot more photos of our everyday life, which I don't want to forget.  I don't always upload the photos each day, but I am definitely taking them each day.  Many days, it's a struggle to figure out which one to upload.

Here is the album to date:

 Here is our Winter photo album:

Project 365

I am going to try to post a picture a day in this photo album.  This means that probably 95% of them will be from my iPhone, but I think it'll be a good challenge nonetheless.   Even though I think they are oh-so-cute, I am also going to try to not have pictures of just the kids.

There are so many great things we see every day.

I really hope it doesn't turn into project 15.
