They're only little for so long..

So, I'm thinking I should spend more time on my blog. Definitely need to add some pictures!! I take at least a million a day. Seriously, I'm a picture taking FREAK. I'm sure my (nonexistent) followers  would love a peak inside of all this madness. 


I'm also thinking it might be a good idea to start another one. This one is for me to just ramble on about whatever is going on in my head. Randomness... sometimes structured, mostly not. Is all this junk really what I want to look back and remember 5, 10, 15 years from now? Some of it, sure.. other things are just useless. I follow one of my Sibs, and let me tell you...each and every time I read her blog I secretly wish I could be adopted in to her family. The smallest details of a day are captured and put on to paper. The captions leave you laughing or saying "awww, how cute". Not to mention she has an impeccable way with words. Clever, that girl...

 It's starting to make me think that all parents really should do something similar.

Day to day you don't really notice the changes in your children, but when you look back you really see how much they've grown. You aren't going to remember how every time your three year old scrapes his self, he not only has to have a bandaid for his self, but for his stuffed animal too. Or how even though he drives you absolutely BONKERS sometimes, he really is just the sweetest thing you ever want to meet.

By doing a better job documenting our children's youth, we will forever have a place to keep these sweet (sometimes sour) memories fresh. Twenty years from now I want to be able to remember all these little details that probably don't mean much now.

My kids are a gift, and I love them. I need to document their little lives. For all of us. The time is flying by way too fast...
