hi amanda,
i don't know that i've left any comments at all these past 30 days of pictures, but i wanted to let you know that i've enjoyed each and every one of them. though, i think i'm partial to this one the most. a family together is a powerful image! thank you for sharing these glimpses of you life. there is true beauty in simplicity.
oh, and one more thing - please tell ezra that he looks rather dapper with that haircut!

Great photo to end the 30 days. This looks like my living room floor, with all of us. Are you sure you got the right house? Thanks for sharing all these photos, so inspiring that I may try something myself. Thanks.
This past 30 days has been filled with loveliness. This has been one of my first "stops" every morning to see the beauty of an ordinary day in an ordinary photo. Beautiful.
I've been lurking here for a while, you and I have a lot in common. :) I just wanted to say that your 30 days of the everyday was simply brilliant! It inspired me to send a picture a day to my mom (who lives far away) of my family's everyday life. Thank you for the inspiration!
Looks very inviting on that quilt....I'd sure love to see a good picture of it if you could maybe find the time to work it into another picture sometime. =)
I really enjoyed your pictures (as always) but I must say as an avid reader (of all media) I can't wait to read big ol' chunks of words to go with your pics again.
I have liked each one of your "everyday moments" pictures in the past 30 days, but this one has moved me to comment. I love how your children are blurs of motion, and you sit calmly in the middle of it all, their rock. That's really beautiful, and exemplary of how I want my mothering to be. :)
I have enjoyed this so,so much! I am a little sad to see its now over. Your such a lovely inspiration and I truly look forward to you each and every day. :)
I've really enjoyed your 30 days! You inspired me to do a version of my own... sans kids! My 16yo does not like his picture taken! But I've enjoyed doing it! Thanks for sharing!
Hi! I like the way you decided to tell 30 days of your life. In my opinion it's good that you didn't show us the grovery cart or the laundry basket. Thanks for making us think about the little nice things every day. I think about a surprising book, a real letter just picked from the mailbox, my favorite sweater or finding that old picture of my sister and I when we were kids in a drawer. Even my workplace can look incredibly beautiful with the right light!
Thanks for the last thirty days. I have been trying to take more photos of the everyday with inspiration from you. Although, I do look very forward to seeing what you have been working on this last month.
What a grand finale! I love the whole family together. The theme for the last thirty days has been so inspiring to watch. Thank you for sharing it with us.
thankyou for sharing your project. it's been really inspiring to see the small but beautiful moments in the every day. (there's something odd/unusual for me in this photo, but i cant place why i feel that way. humm)
thank you for those lovely 30 days ! I enjoyed every single day.
And this last photo is so warm and cozy! I wish I was behind the camera taking this lovely picture ( because that would mean I was their with you that moment!)
Thank you for sharing your family's life with us through your photo's. I love the idea of capturing the moments that makeup our everyday lives. You have inspired me to try something similar. Thanks again.
A beautiful family, everyday.

Amanda,
I've never commented before though I peek in all the time.
I just wanted to say that this photo of all of you was the *perfect* way to conclude your 30 days. :)
You've captured what I love so much: times when my own husband and children gather in and are simply *together*.
Thank you for sharing a little of your world with the rest of us.
~Stacy
