Back in the Saddle

The other day Miles needed to take a picture to school describing a memory.  He wanted to tell about the time he went to a ature center in Minnesota when the temperature was minus 16. Rather than sift through 4 years of disorganized photos, I remembered that I had made a blog post about that particular fieldtrip.  After finding it on my blog, I realized that during my short blogging time, I had created a nice chronology of our family's life.  Then I took a break. 

Rather than chastize myself for having a two year gap between blog posts, I'm going to jump back into it for several reasons:

• It provides a digital scrapbook for my family.
• It's a great way to stay in touch with family and friends.
• Owen will be keeping a blog as part of his homeschool curriculum, and I can't be outdone by a sixth grader.
