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!

5 After the storm






Yesterday night we went back to my maternal Grandparent's home to hlep Nate haul off the last load of scrap/junk. It was so sad to see the yard overgrown and the house deserted. Grandpa Henry's shops were so hollow, purged of all the wonderful this-n-that that I grew up exploring. It just wasn't right.

The girls had a great time. Allie was actually a great help throwing junk on the trailer. She did find time to gather me a precious bouquet of gone-to-seed dandelions. Kylie was more into exploring. We had to remove the ramps to keep her from exploring right onto the trailer. In case you are wondering, no she isn't any closer to walking yet.

I think you should sell me your camera and your kids. I never can get such wonderful pictures. But then I can't see the view finder for my old eyes.

that is a great picture of Allie with the dandelions. I'm glad I haven't seen the house since it's been empty. I can just have those great memories intact.
