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!

4 Annual HOGLE ZOO trip

If you ask, the girls will tell you the metal statues, goldfish in the pond, and the little birds eating crumbs were their favorite things this trip.

I personally thought the baby elephant was the highpoint.

The daddy Lion also put on quite a show for us. We were glad to spend the day with our Beattie cousins, but missed the Stafford girls who ended up not being able to come this year. (yes, Abby & I are wearing the same sweater. We love ModBe and great minds think alike.)

I don’t think we can go to the zoo without a picture on the lion statues.

Of course the girls were on their best behavior to get a ride. They grinned ear to ear the whole time. When it was over poor Eden ran away crying…she wanted another ride.IMG_3238
