a time to keep: For real?

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.

For real?

Arden...the easiest baby ever? Maybe she'll wake up to reality soon? I hope not. Since we've been home, I feed her before I go to bed (10:30 or 11), she wakes at 3:00 am, eats quickly, goes back to sleep...then sleeps until I wake her at 8. Is this for real? I know things can change, but I will ride this wave as long as I can! Thank you, Arden!!!!
