365 Days of Photos

This blog is getting a fresh start. After putting a bit to much pressure on myself my days of summer blog did not get to the end of the summer. I have started again on January 1st 2011, if I miss a day or take a long time to upload I am not going to quit, I am just going to try to be more flexible. After loosing my second baby in just over a year being flexible is now a necessity of life and survival and over the course of this year I have idea what will happen but I am open to many things and I am excited to where it might take me.

From the original blog:

On Monday June 21st 2010, the first day of summer I started this blog - sort of a days of summer blog, and when it is finished I am going to print it to make a book for me to remember this summer and the year following. This summer will be hard for me, just as the past 7 months have been becuase I am fighting my infertility struggles at the same time grieving my baby who was born too early and only lived for two weeks. I am going to find something gorgeous, beautiful or just plain cute to make me smile everyday and post it here. I need to start looking at all the beauty out there - and taking the time to capture it! To learn more about me and my journey visit me here: http://raindrops-sammy.blogspot.com

Tuesday July 6th


Wow - tomorrow is 8 months since Jack was born, I better get a special photo. We bought ourselves a little treat - a old pull behind trailer for future camping adventures, we are very excited!

Monday July 5th


Tonight we went out picking up some work right by the cemetery and we ordered a pizza and decided to have a little picnic. We have never done this before but it was nice for me just to have the time to sit there and not have to run off and do something. I went to visit our friends grave and looked back and saw these two wrestling on the grass - Owen loves jumping on us while we are lying down .. ouch, but Ben is a good sport about it. Jack`s grave needs some serious work, I am getting closer to ordering a headstone - soon I think.

My three boys together ... sigh...

July 4th


Happy July 4th!

This does not look like much but I was laying on a kids slide at the park looking at the sky and it looked really beautiful. So peaceful - until the kids started fighting. LOL.

July 3rd


Honeysuckle. I remember eating these when we were kids and I still really want to find a really nice smelling one for my garden.

July 2nd


I did not take many photos this weekend. I did see many pretty flowers though, especially on my walks. It looks like the nice weather is finally here.
