WOW. .

Bring on the technology. I have now added a picture, a page element of Julie and Kat's blogs and successfully caught Lucy while she fell off the table. Maybe the last one didn't take much tech savvy, but it happened while trying to work on a blog, so I count it. Now, I am going to try to add even more pictures! Step back America, Morgen is joining the future. I think I am going to try to add recipes or booklists or some other things that I feel are more useful than my family updates and personal ramblings. Then I'll feel fine about inviting people to take their time to look into my life. So I created my own white bean chili last night--I shall post that to the side and add yet one more accomplishment to this wild day of inaugral blogging. The kids and I are taking a day off today. We watched a movie, Lucy is eating her weight in cheerios, I drank far too much hot chocolate, and we are planning a craft project trip to Michael's (with my 50% coupon in hand) to fill the rest of the day--after Isaac takes his weekly forced nap. If this day seems inadequate, please comment below, but be warned, I don't take criticism well.

Two posts in six months. . . I'm on Fire!

So, I'm enjoying the rainy weather by cuddling up with Isaac and some hot chocolate, watching "Cars." I'm pretty sure it has been at least two months since we've watched this--I actually like it more every time I see it. I've been enjoying the blogs of loved ones and decided to jump in the fray. Hopefully I'll figure out how to put pictures on this thing, since my words alone are hardly entertaining. But, I'll try to paint some images. This morning Lucy woke up with a mohawk leftover from her ponytail. Her hair is officially long enough to make a spout. Pete is big and crazy and every day we go back and forth on whether or not to keep him. Am I a quitter for getting rid of him?? Last night for Family Home Evening we did a fondu (sort of) and Isaac had chocolate all over his face--that is a funny picture, right? Daman just cut his hair and I can't seem to let myself spend money to get mine cut, so it is long and shaggy and far too much like some disco star at a Nascar race. So, there are some images of our lives. We had a great Easter with the Pinnock family and are gearing up for another Platinum Protection Summer in Maryland. My biggest fear with this blogging thing is that I'm just not sure people really want to keep up with our lives. So, chatting to myself in cyberspace doesn't sound that appealing. Well, Lucy is up, so I'll try pictures next time!
