Real Life

Every December families send Christmas card greetings filled with beautiful pictures of children and updates of all the wonderful accomplish-ments of the year. I'm no different. I want everyone to think that my world is perfect. So, we sent the sweetest picture we had of our girls on our Christmas card. If I wanted everyone to see the reality of our life, I would have included the second picture here instead!

Miss Manners

We've been working on teaching Lydia "nice manners". I felt like we were making some progress until she was eating her corn tonight. Looks like there's still some work ahead of us.

Everybody's Doing It

I must admit that starting a new hobby or activity just because it's the popular thing to do sounds a little lame. Yet, that's exactly what I'm doing. It seems I'm the last person to start an online journal, but there's no time like the start of a new year to kick off a new hobby.

So, here goes. I'm a little nervous...what if I'm not witty or entertaining? At least I know the pictures of our girls will be cute. I've got a lot to learn, but I'm looking forward to getting started.
