Blog resurrected

I was sure I would remember the password and everything looks so different but I am happy to say I am back. Last night I was looking through old pictures and unfinished scrapbooks and I was overwhelmed with a deep sadness. Earlier in the day I was talking to my neighbor about how everything has gone digital and how our kids generation are missing out on things in print. As I was looking at my scrapbooks with one or two pages (per year!!) I realized my kids, grandkids and great-grandkids will have nothing to look back on unless I make it happen. I was really good and keeping up this blog and printing it out each year to act as my journal/scrapbook. And then, I wasn't. I think I lost sight of what I was doing it for and how everything else seemed so much more important. I know now that THIS is important. I won't try to catch up but may add little bits and pieces of the important things that have happened to us since March. I will also try to keep up! It's a good excuse to take a break from the daily grind and reflect a little. For today I will leave you with a picture of our little cutie Owen who is STAR of the week at school. He was so excited and helped me make this poster all about him.

I can't believe how quickly time has gone by! It wasn't long ago that my baby was, well, a baby. Now he is this 6 year old boy with his own attitude and his own opinions. Pretty soon (12 short years!) he will be a man and heading out on his mission ON HIS OWN! Breaks my heart to think about it but for now I will cherish the time I left have being his favorite girl. :)
