My amazing friend Jennifer Bryner was so sweet to take pictures of me and Porter when he was just a couple weeks old. Thanks Jen!

Why I blog

So, why do I blog? I blog because I need a way to remember our lives. Like many women with "mommy brain," life seems to speed by so fast that the days, weeks, months and years begin to blend together unless I make a true attempt to capture the memories through pictures and print. Sure it would be nice if I wrote in some lovely flowery journal- but I just don't think that's going to happen right now. Anyways, I find a blog is like a journal but better… I like that it keeps me motivated because people expect to see what's new. I like that my friends and family who live far away, or even just down the street, can still know what’s going on. I like that my kids love to see themselves on the computer screen (and they love to see their friends on other peoples’ blogs too). I like that I’m made to really think about what is something worth recording and I find that it’s often the little things that I’ll look back on fondly one day. One day I intend to take these cyber pages and turn them into a real book of memories for our little family... something to cherish and reminisce over. Of course, friends and family are welcome to read along and enjoy our lives along with us... I hope you will... just don't be surprised if this little blog of ours reveals our lives to be truly what they are: imperfect, chaotic, disorganized, and just plain normal… maybe our lives will look a little like yours.
