365 project

Post by joette » Sat Mar 20, 2010 1:14 pm

My niece is taking part in this project which consists of taking a photo a day for a year on the same subject with an added text this is yesterday's entry.She has recently given birth to her first child-guess what's the subject of her project is?



THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU.







I can't believe I've been able to keep this thing going over the past 7 crazy days I've had. I almost didn't get a picture in yesterday because yesterday was so crazy, but I don't want to lose a day with this.

And today I wanted to share this moment:


Today we drove through to visit my Gran a...nd R's Great Gran.

And she definetly is that.

I tried to think of my first memories with her and I don't really remember them. I just remember this wonderful woman always *being there.*

I feel like I was born knowing her.

I remember when I was small going through and spending time with her and when I'd come back my mum would ask us what we ate and I'd tell her "Spaghetti" and my mum would not be amused by this, because I would never eat spaghetti for her. Sorry mum ;).

But it was just different with Gran. Everything was. And I suspect R will play the same game of shenanigans with my mum and me ;).

R was wonderfully behaved for his Granny. Slept in her arms, burped on demand for her and cooed lovingly at her. He didn't really fuss or fret. I'm not annoyed or frustrated with that fact - it just made my heart melt that he took to her so well.

Babies and children love her. And she loves them in return.



I am so happy that the generations are still connecting & seeing my Mum with R in her arms she looked so happy & contented & ditto young Ro. Mum is more or less housebound in windy or wet weather & this was their first meeting.
I know Ro will be too young to remember it but it is now documented.His two other Great-Grannies died just days before he was born so she is a very special Great-Granny.If i ever figure out how to I will post the photo which is so sweet.

What a lovely idea and way to hold onto and share memories of the baby's progress and days gone by, Joette...something little Ro and his Mum (and others) will cherish for ever. :)

Regards,
Anne H

For sure Anne I thik it's a brilliant idea & I'm amazed that Cara has had the energy & enthusiasm for it.
It helps that she is completelty in love with lovely(wee? he was 10lbs 10ozs at birth) man & has a wonderful husband & support network. =D>
I'm trying to think of a similar one for myself-I think mine will be a photo of a BMD or Census entry that I find every day :lol: :wink:
