I'm BACK....

....even though no one ever knew I was here to begin with!  I started this little blog over 3 1/2 years ago, wrote one short post, and never told a soul outside my household of 2 about it.  I always think and talk about writing things down, doing a better job about printing pictures and making photo books, finishing Ellie's baby book (I actually did better than I expected I would, but it's empty past 10 months, for now), journaling, blogging of course, and the list could go on, but I just am not naturally inclined to do all of these wonderful things.  I am tired of regretting that I don't keep better records, especially now that we are infinitely blessed with a precious little life in Elizabeth Reece that is growing, changing, and learning every single day, and time is just flying by before my eyes.

Alas, I have decided once and for all to BLOG!  I think I am hesitant about the public nature of blogging...feeling like my life should look a certain way, but I have decided to put those shallow ideas aside and to just do it for myself and my family.  I am much less likely to pick up pen and paper and write then to nestle into my corner of the couch with my cozy brown blanket and my sweet Darla curled up on my lap and type away about the ramblings of my heart and mind and post pictures of our recent happenings.  

So here I am.  Blogging.  I don't have a clue how to do this, but hopefully I will figure out soon how to post pictures with captions and update my About Me that describes me as a newlywed new to Pennsylvania.  Wow.  How times have changed.  For the better.  Life is busier than ever, more stressful than ever, but sweeter than ever.
