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.

Just Outside the Frame

When posting pictures the other day, my editing stuff wasn't working right. I wanted to post this picture:

But needed to crop it so there would be no mistaking about Mac's random elbow in the shot:

I had not even noticed that it could possibly look like anything other than Mac's elbow...until Brad walked by and saw it over my shoulder...and pointed out what it looked like. Now I can see nothing else!

I promise! It's his elbow!

Ah, editing tools. Thank you.

(It's hard to believe this is even the same picture, without the distraction of Mac's elbow!)

Again:

Much better:

As I close, please take a moment to respect the frizz:

Yes. We do play in our backyard nearly every waking moment.
