The First Post

Well, after much long-awaited anticipation, thought, a little blood, sweat and tears...not to mention a big help from my dear friend, Melissa...I am officially blogging.  Or, at least typing the first official post!!  I have made counless attempts over the course of about two years to get my blog up and going, but with all the everyday responsibilities that come with parenting a tween-ager and a toddler, it always seemed to get pushed to the backburner.  Mostly, my attempts came in the darkest wee hours of the night  early morning, but the outcome was always the same...very little progress and much frustration.  A few months ago, I decided that my blog would have a least ONE post before summer's end.  Whew!  I've almost made it! 
I wish that I could go back to when Matt (my oldest) was a baby and start my blog from that point, because really, this is all for them.  I didn't even know what a blog was when Matt was born!  Lucas (my youngest) has been born into an even bigger age of technology than his bother, and I'm sure in another 10 years, there will be bigger and better then too.  So, I will start from today and move forward...with a plan, at times, to give you glimpses into the past...starting with these...

Lucas...day one.
Lucas today...
Wow...time slips away from us so quickly.  It really is amazing just how fast these moments are gone.  "In the blink of an eye"...is what they say; how true it is.  This is the art of everyday moments...
