Why I love my blog...

Sometimes I get a little bit tired of blogging. It's true.

Hard to believe, huh?

But then, some days I feel like time is slipping through my fingers. The kiddos are in bed, sleeping peacefully, quietly, and I am left alone with my thoughts *shudder*.

I think about these crazy kiddos a year ago, two years ago. And I become afraid that they are just plain growing too fast. My mind leaps ahead to teenage years, and I just get scared.

Then I hop onto this good ole blog of mine, look up the archives, and find gems like this:



And for a few minutes, I get to relive the past. I remember the smell of the evening grass, the way my arms felt with chunky-monkey Porter snuggled in them, how much Adi hated having her picture taken, and just how very much Pipes loved kissing her baby brother.

And then I am very, very grateful for this little online journal of mine.

I love this picture of Porter. And I am also glad that you continue to blog so that I can keep caught up with your beautiful little family.

I am so glad that you blog, not only have I got to see pictures of your beautiful family and hear about their funny things they do or say but you have inspired me to keep an online journal as well.
It has also given me a chance to reconnect with your Mom! So, THANKS for being so faithful with your journal!!!
P.S. I love the picture of your kiddos - so happy and carefree!!

I'm grateful for it too!!! It keeps me entertained. Your kids are so cute! I hear you can turn these babies into a book...so it really is like journaling for the technically savvy. Yahoo! OH P.S. Good guess on the movie line! You are good! We should play 'Scene it' sometime :)
