Ok...here we go...new plan

I have had such a weird relationship with this blogging concept. It seems a perfect outlet for someone like me who loves to write and has no need for privacy. But, it's also self-centered and somewhat self-aggrandizing. I do love the idea that my family will forever be able to click on this site and get a glimpse into my mind and our frenetic life. I have a new idea: this is truly going to become a family blog. The kids are going to have access and be able to post their thoughts, experiences, and pictures. Hoping this catches on like wildfire.

Here's a funny story to kick us off:
Christian recently asked Shawn what suffering means. He assumed that it meant to die. Shawn explained that you could suffer by breaking your arm, losing a friend, etc. Christian thought about this for a moment, and then said, "I been suffering my whole life." These are a few recent shots of that poor little urchin and his siblings.
