Soon huh?

I started this blog in 2007 a few months after my first child was born. I guess I thought I'd have the time to write about all the things we'd do together. Yeah, that worked out great. 

So it's two years later, almost to the day from that first post. Oh so many things have changed. First off I'm older (and none the wiser) and so is Mat. He's a big strapping 2, soon to be 3 year old. Time flies and I don't like it. (Guess I learned something after all!)

We've had two additions to our little family in that time. Scarlett Janell was born  November 7th 2007. She was a sick little baby from the start and after a short but hard fought battle, Scarlett left us  February 15th, 2008. 

We've had a very hard time dealing with this loss, especially since we lost my mom and brother only the year before.  No matter how you look at it, death sucks.

Our sweet Isabella Olivia joined us December 16th, 2008. She was the best Christmas present we could've asked for. A bright point in a very dark year. As you can see 2008 was a very busy year for my family.

All in all we've been doing ok. A lot of ups and downs but every family experiences those.

Well since I've found this blog again I have it in my mind that I'll have the time to update it often, hopefully daily. I even think I'd like to start posting daily pictures. We'll see how it goes. As my mom used to say, man plans and God laughs. Let's see if he thinks I'm funny.
