New Year, New Goals

One of the kids found a journal I began about 12 years ago for my first child.  It was fun to read the stories our firstborn and the kids had such a good time laughing about them. I have another two journals for my second and third children, but then the days began to get more hectic and about four kids in I think I threw in the towel.  The kids were sad to see the lapse and the younger ones especially felt disappointed.  Then I remembered that I had this blog and opened up to it on the internet where we all had a lot of belly laughs reading the posts and remembering things forgotten long ago.  It has been nearly three years since my last post and there's been a lot of changes in our family since then.  We've welcomed another beautiful girl to the mix, rounding out the number of children to a full week's worth.  Some days it feels like seventh heaven around here and other days it's just seven kinds of crazy, but I'm re-committing to blogging more frequently about our family so that in ten years from now, I'll have even more embarrassed teenagers who want to change their names. Here's to a very Fine 2015!
