a time to keep: Another hilarious moment with Mac

Why blog? I don't even have a facebook account...it feels like it makes life so public. But then--blogging is kind of like a diary, isn't it? It makes me feel a little like Doogie Houser at the end of the day--collecting my thoughts and putting them down. I don't want to blog because I want my life to be public (though I don't mind wearing my heart on my sleeve, most of the time) or because I'm a narcissist, but because these days of our young family are so precious I don't want to lose them to a faulty memory. This time, this stage, these moments truly are 'a time to keep', and blogging is simply the most convenient way to keep them and share them.

I really didn't think I'd ever start a blog...but now that Mac has stopped calling firetrucks "fire knuckles" (he now calls them firetrucks, and I'm so sad!), I realize I'll forget that he ever did that if I don't write it down. So, the blog begins. Welcome.

Another hilarious moment with Mac

When my sister's baby spit up at our house today, Mac immediately tried to imitate. I've never seen someone try to spit up. It was hysterical....but not so funny as I'm writing it. I suppose you had to see it. I think God gave me a hilarious toddler to keep my mind off how tired I'm getting.

Arden is waking up to babyhood a little--she was up twice last night (the first time she's been up more than once). It's still better than most newborns...but oh, I was hoping the once-a-night waking would last!!!
