Week In The Life 2012 | Thursday Words + Photos
NUMBER OF PHOTOS FOR THURSDAY | around 70
One of the things I wanted to do today was go around the house and take some shots of stuff.
Why? Because those are some of the sorts of photos I'd like to see from when I was a kid. How cool would it be to have a shot of my whole bedroom, or a shot of what I had on my own bookshelf or be able to see what was in my own closet or chest of drawers (Simon actually uses the same chest of drawers in his closet that held my clothes as a kid). This peripheral stuff from our everyday (like closets and dishes) are the kind of content that can be added to any day this week where you might have a few less photos (and are also great for Project Life too). I've always loved seeing a combination of up-close and far away shots that showcase the environments in which we spend so much of our time.
Follow up from Wednesday: Anna was feeling better today and we've got a make-up appointment for Simon with the neurologist today.
Here's a look at some of my images for Thursday:
Katie took the next couple of shots while I was out to dinner with friends.
The fact that Simon shows himself to her through the lens tells a lot about their relationship.

You take the most amazing photos! I wish my son's bedroom closet looked like that! My son is a pack rat! He says he knows where everything is. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like an overall nice "everyday" kind of day, and you've captured some wonderful "stuff." Great idea!

GREAT idea of capturing the everyday STUFF --- the bedrooms and memories they hold! We are moving soon and while I am not doing Week in the Life, I am challenged to take pics of their bedrooms tomorrow! Thanks for the encouragement.

Ali, do you even realize all the hearts and lives you touch? As I look at all the posts shared this week, I have noticed each day that your grace and dignity and your honesty has made a difference all over the world. I feel that you have had some very difficult times in the last months, but each one has been represented with deep love and respect for all concerned. I, like so many others, wonder if I could have shown the wisdom in any unwantede situation that you have. I pray that the good Lord will wrap his loving arms around you and your family and that you will feel the love and concern felt for you by all of us that are fortunate enough to follow you and your talent each week! God bless!!

I can't believe I almost didn't do this this year- of all years- new house, new town, new life... what was I thinking!? The printouts really did it for me- I printed them out at the last minute and have been doing it here and there- the photo taking has helped me "see" things in a new light- and I just wanted to APPRECIATE THE HECK OUT OF YOU ALI!!! you are a light in the world!

This is sort of ridiculous but the shot of Chris' hand holding the Starbucks cup with no wedding ring on makes me tear up. Hang in there Ali.

I posted a video today. Today is my last day (I started last Saturday), so plan to get a few more "stuff" shots myself.

Ali---This is completely unrelated to WITL...but I thought of you. They have this #3 pillow at Target right now that is super cute. I noticed that you use 3's in your house alot and this has your name written all over it! I couldn't find it online, but it was near the seasonal home decor stuff in my super target!

Yippee! I'm so glad that Anna's better and Simon's appointment is going to happen today.
It is so interesting how our kids behave with others (regarding Simon's pics taken by Katie.) It's great when you've got those others on your side and willing to help you out!!!

Love the photos of stuff. Your photos makes me happy!
I plan to take photos of my stuff this weekend when I'm home! So fun! Thanks for visiting my blog and for the constant inspiration!

For me, that hand shot was surely the bravest shot of the bunch.

More wonderful photos!

What a great idea. I need to do that. I sure wish we had pictures of things when I was growing up.

It's really funny how you mention taking pictures of stuff in your house, like the kids' closets because I took a picture of my daughter's closet to represent getting ready for bed on Sunday night, and I made sure that I got a shot of my son's closet for getting ready this morning. It's a great idea to take pictures of stuff and your general environment, whether it's home, work or your city.

Love this idea, going to do this tomorrow ;)

Ali, Anna has such big feet!! Want to know how I can tell? I love the photo of her sitting on her legs on the red ladder chair step stool thingy -- and I love that you have TWO of them! My grandmother had one and I'd kneel on it and help her do the dishes! I used to watch my mom and her sisters do the dishes at Grandma's house and laugh and have fun -- I've always thought doing dishes by hand is more fun -- for those reasons! Anyway, the feet -- I wear a size 4 in grown ups and a size 2 in children's, sometimes a 4.5 and a 3, but never a 5 or 3.5. When Sarah got big and we'd go to the shoe store, she'd go to women's and I'd go to children's. I've always just wanted normal sized feet. Anna is lucky! And I love Simon seeing the neurologist! Because that's what Charlie's doing and I'm so proud of him! Hopefully his work will help Simon's doctor and teachers! XOXO, Mary
