Table for 5: January 2012

January 3, 2012

We had the pleasure of staying with the Giovanoni's in Indiana to ring in the new year and celebrate the christening of our newest Godson, Colin. We squeezed in a trip to the most amazing Children's museum and "Monkey Business" a giant warehouse full of bounce houses! Needless to say, my kids love Indiana and can't wait to go back!!

Why a Blog....?

There are a few reasons why I decided to start a blog and I would like to share them with you...

To begin with, I can't keep up with this twittering, facebooking, texting world, and this I can do at my own pace. With 3 kids that's the only way! I would also hope that this will help keep us connected to the ones we love who are far away.

I don't how good I am at it, but I love to write. After a busy day, I find it calming and I look forward to being able to say what I am thinking or share with others some of the things that go on in this crazy household. I also love to take pictures and feel this is a great way to share some of those with all of you.

Finally, I often hear my kids say something funny or cute that I think I will never forget and considering that I couldn't tell you what my kids weighed at birth or what their first word was, I thought it might not be a bad idea to actually start writing things down. Of course, I wish I had started this earlier but Chris gave me some good advice..."It's never too late to start something...."

I hope you check in once in a while to see what's going on...there's an open invitation and always and extra seat at our "Table for 5"
