I decided that I wanted a way to document our daily comings and goings, add pictures, and be able to essentially journal about our life. Mostly because it's crazy. And fun. Every time I have a conversation like the following: Me: Chase, did you know that you can be anything you want to be when you grow up? Chase: Like a zebra?!? I think, I have GOT to write that down! I don't want to forget how stinking hilarious these kids are. And when Jake casually wanders over and identifies the weird cockroachy looking thing we pulled out of the ocean as a "mole crab" (apparently he read about it in a book somewhere) I think, I have GOT to write this down! I don't want to forget how disconcertingly smart these kids are! And when Leia screeches at the top of her lungs and throws me a grin, complete with upper lip dimples and a scrunched up nose, I think, I have GOT to write this down. I don't want to forget how utterly adorable these kids are. SO, here I am writing things down. So that I don't forget. And so that I can share our adventures with family and friends who may find them equally hilarious, smart or cute (okay, not equally -- I realize that's not their job).
For the longest time I was dragging my feet on getting started, because I am not so computer savvy. I am artistic and like things to look fantastic but lack the technical know-how to make that happen on this blog. But, I decided it will just have to be a work in progress, as if I wait any longer, I may start forgetting . . .
WOW, I wish I had your strength and determination! You do amazing things with and for your family!
