Back From A Break. Welcome 2014!

A few months ago I decided I was done with writing on this blog. At the time, I was throwing myself into work and my other blog, and I felt that this one had (sadly) run its course. But then I realized that giving up on this blog meant giving up on chronicling our family's lives, and that didn't settle too well.

Over the years, I have shared so many details of Brady's life on "Everything Eatherton", but have talked so little about Cole and his development over his first year and a half. Such is the life of a second child, I suppose, but I need to try and give him as much attention as Brady received. So I decided I would breathe new life into this blog in 2014 and that's what I'm here to do!

1/365: Just like his big brother-- this boy LOVES to read.

Fave books: Little Blue Truck, Going on a Bear Hunt, My Truck is Stuck, Big Red Barn

I've decided to participate in a new project that will (primarily) live on this blog. It's called Catch The Moment 365 and it's a photography challenge that encourages us to take a photo every single day of the year. Ideally with your DSLR, but if that's not possible, a phone will do. I decided to do this for 2 reasons... 1) I need to practice more with my DSLR and 2) I was recently at a friend's house who did a similar Project 365 then printed a book with all the photos. It was so incredible to see their life unfold and I knew immediately that I wanted to do it this year.

So, without trying to capture everything that's happened over the last 6 months (maybe I'll do that another time), let's just agree to move forward from this point together, m'kay?!

Keep checking back every day for a new photo, and maybe, just maybe, I'll write from time to time. And if you can't come every day, peek in on Mama Dish every Friday for a week in review.

Happy New Year! Here's to a fantastic 2014!
