The Start of Something New

I guess most people would think of January as the time for starting something new, New Years Resolutions and such, but I have decided to start something new in the middle of the year, which, I guess depending on how you look at it either makes me off to a really late start or way ahead of the game. In my mind, each day can be a new beginning and the start of something amazing because each new day that we are given is a gift that should be unwrapped with anticipation and fully enjoyed, not rushed through and tossed aside as we hurry to rush through the next day and toss it aside over and over again.

So here I am today beginning a new blog. This time I have my daughters at the forefront of my mind. Carley is now five and Zoe is one and there are so many incredible things happening with them each day. The time flys by so quickly and I want to soak it all in and not forget any of these precious moments. I'd like to make a scrapbook of our random daily happenings, our silly stories, our mundane stuff..... along with our fabulous special occasions of course, but scrapbooking is harder work than you might think! (Yes, that did actually come out of the mouth of an art & craft addict, although technically it came from my fingertips....)
Sooooo, anyway,  I've decided to dedicate this blog to my girls and to our family. Maybe someday it will be something that I can have printed in a fancy keepsake book for them to look back on. Right now it will be a way to connect with our family and friends; a way to keep close even if we're many miles apart. It will be my place to ramble on, convinced that you guys are all on the edges of your seats each week in hopes that I've posted something new and witty and wonderful.

Ha, Ha. ...... yeah, you keep laughing, it could happen.  :)
