First Post

Okay.  I did it.  After lots of encouraging (especially from a certain friend--you know who you are), I started a blog.  I don't feel "qualified" to have one. I follow several blogs and this is what has kept me from doing one.   I don't think I can be humorous in a blog like my brother Dan.  My friend Sarah has the most poetic and beautiful way with words which I could never duplicate.  Her expression of her thoughts always impresses me.  My friend Yvonne is so honest about her faith and has such a sensitive heart from her children that comes through her blog.  And my friend Jaime's blog is clever.  I love her honesty and her references to all my favorite movies in her blog (The Princess Bride).
Consequently, I feel intimidated at the idea of trying to put my thoughts into words and not have it be the most boring thing ever.  On the flip side, I'm excited to write down my thoughts. I feel like I have a million of them a day and I wish I was writing them down so I could remember this time.  Remember what it felt like to be a mom of these energetic kids and the things they teach me on a daily basis, make me laugh about and the ways they challenge me.  Remember this day to day life that seems to be passing by at the speed of light. Remember the lessons I'm learning and the ways I'm growing.  And, I think I've outgrown the space on my facebook status lines and I'm pretty sure I'm exceeding the photo limits too.  I need more room to write down all these words and places to put up all the pictures I'm snapping of the boys.  So, here I am.  I cannot promise it will always be interesting, clever, or deeply insightful (remember, I am taking care of 4 little people, I don't have hours for this).  But it will be from my heart.
