First Day of School




Finally, the first day of school has arrived!!!. As you can see the boys were all bright-eyed and bushy tailed, well, except for poor little Hunter. He wasn't sure what was happening. All he knew was that someone ripped him from his bed about 2 hours too early (gotta love that lazy summer schedule) and now his "boys" are gone for the entire day. Now if we could just get him potty-trained so that he could go to pre-school.....




Dakota is 14 and in 8th grade.

Riley is 12 and in 6th grade.

Jordan is 9 and in 3rd grade.

The Beginning

Well, here goes....I have decided that since I simply can not commit to keeping a journal, I will give blogging a try. The straw that broke the camel's back was the recent discovery that I had not written in my journal for almost three years. I think my last entry was when I was in labor with Hunter, who is now three, and I promised that I would write soon and tell all about his birth and what the other kids were up to. Give me a break!! Here it is over three years later and I still have not kept up with a journal. Where did the time go? Let me tell you , there are a lot of feelings that get tossed around when you discover that you basically have not taken the time to express and record your thoughts and daily happenings. Guilt, anger, shame, just to name a few. So this leads me to a new venture. I hope you will enjoy reading about my family as much as I know I will enjoy writing about them. We're busy, we're stressed, we're happy, but most of all, we're family. Here's to a day in the life......
