01. Bella getting ready for school. Still blows my mind that I have a daughter who’s a freshman.
02. Tess making her lunch with the puppy under foot waiting for a kick back.
03. Adam is usually not home in the morning when the girls head off to school, but for some reason he slept in today (6am) and exercised at home so was here and able to say goodbye to the girls.
04. Making their way to school — thank goodness it’s Friday
05. Taking my time with breakfast — I had a busy day ahead.
06. One of the hardest things anyone has ever asked me to do was make cookies when I wasn’t eating sugar. Don’t try it — it’s not fun.
07. Lola puppy having her afternoon play date with her bff June.
08. Tess getting a bit of screen time after school.
09. I was surprised this was the only color in our camp ground. I thought for sure there would be more colorful trees. Not complaining though, it was beautiful being there. Can’t say the same about how cold it got.
10. Girls gathered around the fire to keep warm talking all teenagery. I believe the last thing they asked me as I headed to bed was, “mom do you remember your first kiss?” Still trying to decide if I should be afraid.
11. Adam and our friend Joe setting up the tent.
12. Watching the last bit of light leave us.

While working on this collage I looked back on the last few months of my 12of12s and I couldn’t help but smile. I absolutely love this project. Of course there are times when I wake up and I can’t bear the thought of documenting another day, but I am always so glad I did. I love how I am able to take a piece of the present and keep it forever. Do you feel that way?

I hope you have enjoyed this project this year. Hard to believe we only have 3 more left before we say goodbye to 2014. Remember to share on facebook. Looking forward to seeing what you were up to.
