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.

Mac's New Tools

Merry Christmas! Here we are after the Christmas Eve service. Don't miss the adorable sweater vest on Mac and the sweet Christmas dress Arden wore. Oh, I love that dress. Too bad it's got Christmas trees and candy canes on it...guess we can't wear it now. That would just be weird.


Mac loves his new tools from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. Here he is Christmas morning, doing some much needed repairs around the house.
Drilling in baby Arden's room.
Off to check that everything ship-shape in the rear of the house.
Taking these repairs seriously.

Hammer? Check. Wrench? Check. Construction hat? Check.
Pretend you don't see that his mouth still has breakfast on the edges. Hey, it's Christmas morning! Who cares if you wear breakfast?
Aww dad! More pictures?
