30 tiny moments hath September
September 1st, 2008
This past April I took a photo every day of some small moment for the 30 tiny moments group on Flickr. I thought this month would be a good one to do that again. Here we go.
Day 1: Breakfast on Snail Mountain with friends. We had coffee (for the adults), milk (for the kids), and doughnuts on Snail Mountain this morning, since Brenda and Baby Bug were visiting and that is rapidly becoming our tradition.
On another note, I have so many photos languishing unedited and unposted on my hard drive right now, it’s not even funny. In addition to the photos I’ve been taking, Annalie has been a shutterbug lately, and has gotten some really funny and great shots. I’m debating opening a free Flickr account for Annalie’s photos and starting a photo blog for her on this site, like Annalie’s friend Lily has on her mom’s blog.
I have so many things I want to write about, like meeting Bonnie and her kids, the not-so-minor plumbing disaster at our old house in Maryland that is going to involve insurance companies and replacing a toilet and drywall and possibly some carpet, and how happy I am to be painting pottery again and how tickled I am to be getting custom orders. But life is happening and we’re days past some of those things and I don’t know if I’ll ever write about them.
Like our trip to the desert to visit Deborah and her kids! Remember how they came here to visit us, and we went to Sea World? Well, we went back to their house with them to visit for a few days, since our husbands were both out of town. We had a great time hanging out with them, and I took a bunch of photos and posted them in Flickr (you can see the ones from here and there in the photoset Maryland friends in California!), fully intending to write more about our visit. But somehow I just never got around to it and now that was weeks ago.
Maybe doing 30 tiny moments this month will help me keep up.

The “30 Tiny Moments” is such a great idea. I started doing it earlier this year, but then fizzled out. Maybe a better goal for me is “30 Tiny Moments in a YEAR”. I’m so bad at taking photos, I need to get better about recording my life (in more than just words)!

Where is this great location? What a fun area for my son to check out? Is it here in the SD area?

I am so jealous that you two can get together so much, what fun you have!! And in the warmth, ahhhh!
Today when we were driving home from the sport store Kaitlyn exclaimed to me “broccoli, no….ha, ha ,ha,” and then went on to carrots and waffles. It took me a moment and then I realized she was pretending to be Annalie in that video from a few months ago. What a memory. So I dig out the camera and held it over my shoulder so we could keep playing the game. Then my camera died but we caught a few moments. I must get that up on the net for you to see, such a goober!!

Your photos are always brilliant! I have a sneaky feeling like you may be the elusive superhero known as “Super Mom”…..

I am *also* envious of your Brenda time. And of her Bethany time.
30 tiny moments sounds like a great idea. I look forward to what you share!
