Fresh Start

What a perfect time to start blogging again! It's spring...and Easter is fast approaching. This time of year we focus on *new* life..as we look all around and hear the birds chirping, the leaves beginning to grow on the trees, no coats {Alleluia!} as we bask in the sunshine, trips to the park and frequent outdoor walks. Most importantly we are reminded of new life because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. We have NEW life because of Him! Oh, what a joyous celebration!

As many mommy's probably do, we always start the 'scrapbooking' idea when our first child is born. I had a calendar that I would write what happened EVERY day for that first year....well, it lasted only a few months, of course. Then you have your second child and she's lucky to even have a baby book. I beat myself up over the fact that I have thousands of pictures, but not one scrapbook for my children. Are they going to be mad at me that someday I will hand them a disc and say "here you go, honey....all thousands of photos of you growing up is on here"? Probably not. It's not realistic to keep up your duties as a mom and wife and friend and co-worker and all the other titles and sit down and do daily scrapbooking....heck, even monthly scrapbooking is A LOT to ask.

I realize though by not scrapbooking or journaling, I'm forgetting the "little things" my girls say and do. I'm so grateful for them. They are such a blessing to us. All the cute little things they say and do and to think I'm going to write it down somewhere...and pretty soon a year goes by and we can't remember which child did what. So...that brings me to blogging. I hope and pray that this blog will help keep a "diary" of all the little...and bigger things in our life. The happy moments we want to remember forever.

Here's to my fresh start! I'm so excited.
