The Beginning!

I've decided to start a family blog for several reasons. Reason one: I don't journal. I should, but I don't. Let's face it, I'm getting older, the kids are growing up, and I know I'm forgetting a lot of things I will want to remember. Reason two and three: typing is faster than writing and I'm on the computer a lot- this may justify my computer time. Reason four: It's a great way for our families, that we love and are far away, to keep up with their Missouri family. I didn't make any resolutions this year, but maybe beginning a blog is a good way to start 2010! This is a work in progress, as I figure out new blogging terms like "gadget" and "header" - (I know I'm behind the times) I never understood why anyone would want a blog- now I do.
