Silent Sunday

I came across this idea awhile ago. (When I say awhile ago I mean it... the year was 2010)
I have wanted to start this for some time I just haven’t I guess made time for it…
Since I LOVE the idea so much I am going to start. NOW. 
Better late than never!

If we are friends on Facebook or we “follow” each other on instagram you probably already know that I LOVE to capture a good photo – Whether it is my children, my view, something I like or a mess of my day. A picture can capture a thousand words.
Oh wait... What does my instagram profile say? 
"...a photo captures a million words so...." SO LETS TAKE SOME PHOTOS!

The objective of #silentsunday is to try to avoid using words.
Words at times have the ability to clutter a photo. 
Sometime there is no interruption needed. Sometimes the interrupters imagination is just better than your explanation. 
Think about an art museum. 
More times than not the art is just there. Allowing you to view it with no words needed. 

I write a lot. Trying to be better at posting?!?!? No promises.
The purpose of my #silentsunday is to cut out the noise of words.

I choose Sunday because it is the day of rest.
My goal on this day is too simply post photos for you to enjoy (should you visit) which will tell a story of my week without words.

Want to join me?
I would LOVE THAT!

THE RULES:
It’s human nature. We need rules right?!?!?
Maybe we just need rules to break. You decide how you want to approach this.

Regardless of your approach here are some (soft) rules:

  • Chose a photo to post. Dont get fancy. Just a photo. Try to only choose one. 
  • Okay. So I wrote this plan while I travel to Boston. I have since changed my mind (See I am already breaking these rules)
  • Choose no more than 7 PHOTOS. Why seven you ask? Well I like this number and it allows you to post a photo for each day of the week. Brilliant. I know. 
  • The photo needs to be YOURS. There will be no googling photos. You will be dis-qualified. 
  • Dis-qualified from what? NOTHING. It is just not cool. 
  • SAY CHEESE: Use a photo that you took in the week leading up to your post. 
  • Post them each Sunday. Use no words with the exception #SILENTSUNDAY

I am going to try this each week. (At least for awhile) and you dont have too. (You are welcome).
I remind you again. Its called #silentsunday. So take that literally. NO WORDS in your post, header, title except the hashtag #silentsunday. 
It will be hard (mostly for ME) but try to resist the urge to explain your photos. Let your friends, followers and readers make their own crazy assumtions on what was happening or what you were thinking when you snapped a certain photo. 
Bloggers - you can thank me later. SUNDAY BLOGGING just got a hole lot easier!!!!

Making Progress

Greetings from Seattle Children's, We are happy to inform everyone that Mason is doing very well and has been moved out of ICU and over to, "the floor." This is a good sign that he is recovering on schedule and should be just a few days away from going home. He orginally had three or four I.V.'s in and is now down to one, which included the removal of the main one in his neck. Kelsey and I were looking forward to that one being removed. He still has two drainage tubes in his chest which we would like to have had out already but the Dr.'s are being cautious because he drained a little more blood than normal his first day after surgery. The plan is to have those taken out tomorrow which will make him feel even better. He is waking up on occasion but isn't quite up for smiling yet...understandably. Kelsey and I just want to hold him and make him feel better but unfortunately he seems to become more uncomfortable when we do, so we try not to be too selfi...

Welcome to HOLLAND

It was time to start collecting all of the information needed to schedule and prepare for Mason’s Fontan Surgery. So last Friday – Mason went in for his Cardiac Catheterization. (Defined below) Cardiac Catheterization (Heart Cath) is the insertation of a catheter into a chamber or Vessel of the heart. This is done for both investigational and intervention purposes. Subsets of this technique are mainly coronary catheterization, involving the catheterization of coronary arteries, and catheterization of cardiac cambers and valves. (Did you get all of that?!?!?) When we arrived at Seattle Children’s Hospital– Greg was busy checking us in and I sat with Mason in the Surgery Center waiting area. Mason and I talked, I kissed him, I played with him… I pulled out all the stops so that he would not remember that he hadn’t eaten in 12 hours and that he was at his least favorite place – Children’s Hospital. During some point of my “operation distract Mason” I noticed you staring at us from acr...

10 Years....

Mason, It is amazing how time passes by in the blink of an eye after you have kids…. It seems like just yesterday, yet this week, 10 years have passed since our life was turned upside down. The day our world took a turn we never saw coming. Each year leading up to the anniversary, I get anxious, emotional, sad, scared, and angry. I WISH 10 years later I felt differently. But I don’t. It almost feels just as raw as the day we were told…. This year. I am consciously recognizing what it is… MONDAY FEBRUARY 11 th ,2008. We sat in a room where a Doctor carefully articulated and explained to us about your special heart. There is one detail about this day I have seemed to forget in time. That is the name of the doctor who told us about our fate…. I could describe to you in details about anything else you might want to know, who was there, what we were wearing, what the Doctor himself looked like and the conversation we had. Yet his name, which used to be...
