Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

1 A glum day

Today was just as cold and rainy as predicted: grey, dreary, and windy.
For the first time in weeks, we were trapped in the house.

Kylie must be teething again, because our happy girls has been fussing and crying for two days. She won't eat, won't sleep; doesn't want to be held or put down.
Poor Kylie!

Something wonderful happened today amidst the rain, Allie feel asleep on the couch just after noon, of her own free will. Nothing like this has EVER happened! In fact, she did it again in the car on a little drive after dinner. (well after Nate & I had dinner, both the girls are on hunger strike)

I took the photos above on our little evening drive out in the country. Allie fell asleep even though Kylie was screaming the entire time. Below are pictures of the site of Grandpa Eldon's new shop/shed on his Amalga farm, just 7 miles from here. They are getting ready to pour the foundation.

We also swung by Newton Reservoir, our favorite summer hang-out. The water is high, so hopefully the weather will cooperate so that we can be wakeboarding in a week or two.

I love seeing pictures of the girls even when they are cranky and sleepy, not jsut whern they're neat and adorable. I love being able to see their little personalities grow from a state away. I mean I get to see you often, but the photos really help this Aunt stay in touch.

Yeah for the blog-ajournal!
