the other night i started finding all these people that live in their RV's and travel the world. How cool is that? Please don't think of your grandma's RV, but these RV's are P.I.M.P and I think they are so pimp I was willing to sell all my stuff and get one for our family. I haven't told Aaron about this new lifestyle yet, but you never know!
I was lurking over at one of my new RV-living-family blogs that I've been reading and they posted a family photo for their “the 12 project” for the year. I was intrigued so I followed the link back to this blog (these peeps seem so cool and might be at The Stone on Sunday 3/7) where they posted their family picture and explained more about the project.
Take a picture of your family each month and then at the end of the year put them in a book. Wow what a fun project. What fun will it be to look back at these pictures at the end of 20 years!
I kept following blogs and I think I found where it originated. (by the way check that blog out – very cool!)
So, I think I'm up for the challenge. You? I'd love to see your family each month! Let me know when you post your family pics!
Here's what I could come up with for us w/out any planning!
Okay so for January I couldn't pick just one, so I picked two both from the day we flew home to Austin with our sweet boy Amos. The first one seems like a silly choice b/c no one is looking, but to me I see so much more. I look at this pictures and see Amos and Story laughing and smiling at each other. They hadn't seen each other in 3 months and when Story left she was very sick. I also see Aaron giving Cayden his undivided attention even among the crazy-ness of that moment. I see me smiling and looking at my family with complete exhaustion.
The next picture is our first family picture and of course it's at our home on our trampoline! I love it so much. Bush took this picture and I just love it!
February was a crazy month. Honestly i DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT WENT. For real. I can't tell you one thing that happened in February. It was crazy. We didn't get one family picture together . So nothing in February. We'll pick back up in March!
I cant' wait to see your family pics each month!
Yay! I’m so glad you’re doing this. I’m just about to post our second one.
Isn’t the blog world a small one? You were reading on Stephanie’s blog and found ours…but did you even know that we will be staying at Christine Moers’ RV park at that point? So crazy.
And yes, we WILL be at the Stone on Sunday (11:15 service!). Warn Aaron that there will be some crazy RV-livin’ family looking for him afterward. 😉
Can’t wait to meet in person!
xxoo

Yeah Sara – glad you guys are goign to be there. Oh how I wish that I could be there too to meet you and become real life friends! if it wasn’t my dad’s 60th birthday this weekend believe me I wouldn’t be leaving this house again after just getting home from a trip this week!
Yes I told Aaron about you guys, but I’ll remind him! I haven’t yet informed him of my plan to get our RV that we’ve been trying to sell for years re-done!
We’ve been saying we were going to head out to the Moers camp this Spring for a while now. We must make it happen. We have an RV (that i’ve never camped in – long story, but Aaron’s band used to travel in it and now it sits) and have a place to go, so we should go!
Enjoy the Stone!
🙂
Hey Tara Whitney is the photog that I kept talking about this week. Too cool that all sites took you there.
I need to show E all the RV photos. It may be our new option.
small small world.
yes those RV’s are cool!
I love the 12 Project idea. Man I wish I could think of idea that small and yet so amazing! Thanks for passing on the info and the blog links!
Blessings
So, I go to Stone and have been keeping up with Aaron’s and your blogs for some time now. (Haha, hopefully your appreciation for blogging/reading blogs supersedes the moderately stalkerish nature of strangers’ comments!) When I read this post, I was reminded of those family pics that Jen took (beautiful pics!). Were those taken in February? Enjoy reading about your faith, your heart, your kids – your posts are poignant, funny, encouraging, challenging. Thank you for your candidness and sincerity!
jamie, I am going to do this. I love it! and i want you to know every night rylor has prayed for Story to feel better. and last night he stayed with my mom and she asked me “what’s wrong with Story?” (she totally knows all about you and your kiddos) I just smiled and told rylor I think she is fine. i don’t even know if she ever got sick but i just mentioned to ry that you guys wouldn’t be able to make it over for lunch because story wasn’t feeling so well and he has been really concerned. sweet boy 🙂 I hope you all made it home quickly and it wasn’t too bad of a trip home.
Love that idea!
I love both pictures.
