It's a new year!




I, like everyone, have a few changes I want to make to be a better person.  Using this blog as a sort of family history is a big one.  It's a scheduling issue, keeping up on it, isn't it?  Hopefully I will schedule this rather than watching the latest episode of "The Bachelor" (sshhh, don't tell...I know it is dumb...I also am excited for America's Next Top Model"...IQ points dropping).  I did see a quote recently that inspired me.  "We write to taste life twice, once in the moment and in retrospection. -Anais Nin".  I want to TASTE LIFE, to savor it!   We have so much beauty around us.  As a mother, everyday I am struck by the sweetness of my children.  They truly are so beautiful...I hope I can teach them to always taste the richness of life around them, especially the joy of the gospel and the treasure of family!

Yeah, I am so happy you are posting again!!! (Don't look at mine though because it's been a few weeks.)

I am a closet Bachelor watcher as well, so we can be dumb friends together. LOL

BTW, you look so GOOD!!! I love your hair! We miss you all so much. Can't wait for more posts.

How cute can your family get! Dang you are all so photogenic it makes me jealous! Just when I think your family had the cutest pic ever, you come out with another and I stand corrected.
Love you always,
p.s. the reason I didn't have your blog linked, I wiped out mine when I did a lame christmas background and I'm workin on getting it all back to where it was- cut me some slack!

So glad to see a new post - I have checked from time to time and will be more than excited to keep up w/you this way. I get behind on blogging too -but it is a great way to journal and stay connected. You guys are beautiful and look at you as a burnette! Hope you aren't freezing to death - you are welcome at my home anytime.
