Once, again, I’m going to use the birth of a child to do a year-long photo project. I’m going to post one picture each week Jimmy’s first year. I did it for Lucy, Mary, and Kate did the same thing for Simon during his first year.

The rules will be the same. The goal will be to post a new picture from the previous week on Sunday or Monday evening each week. The picture will preferably be taken over the weekend so the spacing between them will be similar, but I’m not going to box myself in if we get a good picture from a different day.

James (I’m still figuring out what I’m going to call you), you gave us quite a build-up. Your mom was having contractions for about 3 days, and then they really ramped up the night before you were born. We got to the hospital and your delivery (via c-section) was delayed due to complications in the delivery of another baby in line before you (as far as we know, that baby and mom were fine!). We were so glad to FINALLY meet you!
