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.

"Choo Choo Far Away Church!"

This is what Mac says every time he hears a train whistle in the distance. Presumably, this is because the most frequent time we see trains is on our way to downtown, and our most frequent reason for going downtown is to go to church.

Like most kids his age, he can HEAR the train, and he NOTICES it. I never realized how often I tuned stuff like that out until he began pointing it out to me.
