I’m excited to share my first take 12 for the year with our new little one. As usual I’m not doing a theme, just documenting our every day life. We have had a third birthday and a 40th anniversary to celebrate today, so our usual Saturday of odd jobs and swimming lessons gave way to parties and a late afternoon sleep for all four of us.

Are you taking 12? Don’t forget to share them on Instagram or Twitter with #take12 hash tag or in our Flickr group

I’ve been using Instagram to take my photos each month (mostly) supplemented with my Canon IXSUS point and shoot.
 

Here’s my photos for the day so far…

What is Take Twelve?

The goal of the 2012 Take Twelve Project is to take 12 photos on the 12th day of each month for a full 12 months—and scrapbook them! You can join in the fun any month of the year, but we hope you’ll join in starting January 12. Get the scoop at ellapublishing.com/taketwelve.
