A Blog a Day


We have dozens of ideas for blog posts.
We have hundreds of photos to go with those ideas.
We even have some thoughts about what to say in each post.

What we lack is the time and energy to put all of those ideas, photos, and thoughts together and actually post something. But as days pass, so do the opportunities to record our family memories for you and for ourselves. (We hope to transfer much of what we write here into a printed book, knowing how quickly technology changes and that blogs may not be around when our kids are adults, or even teenagers.)

Our goal for the month of June is to post something each day. Photos, events, milestones, daily happenings, things we don't want to forget will all be there. They will probably be posted in the order they pop into our minds rather than the order in which they occurred. And there might -- can you imagine it! -- be a day or two when we simply don't get to blogging. You'll forgive us, won't you?

So take a deep breath and get ready to dive in...

Miles' First Word?

"banana"


In case you were wondering, Grace's first word was

"cheese"


and mine was

"happy"


(Does the fact that these things are all yellow have any significance, do you suppose?) Vic's first words were the ubiquitous but always heartwarming "Mommy" and "Daddy". Grace had about 20 words in her vocabulary before she got to "Mommy". I guess I need to talk about myself in the third person more often.
