Figuring it out...maybe...

So, Kelly spent some time with me tonight--working on my blog and can you tell I'm having fun? I have been going through all my pictures to see what to post and I've been thinking of songs to add to my playlist--wow--it's alot to handle for one night! But it does make me want to go back to the beginning and post pics of my kiddos since they were babies just to show how cute they all were (ahem--and are, of course). I had an experience tonight that reminded me of what's most important--isn't it so easy to get side tracked? Anyways, at least I'm lucky enough to have a great husband to remind me and keep me on track. He helped me to remember that it's all about our family--and what a great thing that is! So I guess when I say I'm figuring it out, it could mean alot of things--my blog, life with 4 kids, who I am (again--it seems to change as our family grows), and... what is most important-my family.

Trying something new!

Well--here I go! So, I'll follow my sister-in-law's lead and try something new by starting a blog about our crazy life...I have been wanting to start for awhile but with my 4 little ones literally on top of me (Christopher is, even as I am typing) I use "no time" as my excuse! My hubby came home from work today and has pretty much forced me to get started--and I'll admit, I am glad. I'm not much into scrap booking but figure I should document as much of the daily chaos and insanity as I can so that one day my kids will know why they have turned out the way they have. Even as I type I can hear my two sons-turned saber-toothed tigers for the moment-leaping around the upstairs; my oldest, Mackenna, just returned from a play date and has already informed me that she hates what we're having for dinner; and our newest, Tessa, is wondering what I ate earlier today and why it has to upset her tummy. Life--each day goes by so fast and I'm not sure I'm treasuring these times when my kids are still small enough. Hopefully I can slow things down and take more time to enjoy laughing with them, making messes with them, and listening to their little thoughts--I think I can, if I take it one day at a time. Wish me luck--trying something new!
