Rain Day Fun

With a summer filled with nonstop sun, 85+ temps almost every day ( plus some crazy humidity) we find ourselves wonder what to do when we get 3 straight days of gloomy rain.
I'll tell you what we'll do.... we'll snuggle on the couch with out munchkin and have picnics in the living room.

Just the Beginning

It was only a matter of time before I jumped on the infamous blog band-wagon. I've never been one who is good at putting their thoughts into writing... I prefer talking much more! However my new found love for "capturing & documenting the moment", whether it be thru the ridiculous amount of pictures I take or notes jotted down in my mini pocketbook calendar has lead me to the desire to blog.

I have always loved taking pictures, but it's no secret that since the joy of my life, Lincoln Douglas was born ( 14 months ago) I've taken things to a whole new level. I have a calendar dedicated to documenting each new milestone reached, all Lincoln's overnights visits at the grandparents, trips to the beach, park, zoo etc. And I'm always there with the camera ( or yelling to Jim to bring it to me) to capture that first smile, first taste of veggies, first step and all the smile & memories in between.

Life seems to fly by way too quickly, and so I find it nice to sit back every now and then and reflect on the the fun we had yesterday, what I'm thinking about right now and what I am looking forward to doing tomorrow. Thru this blog I will make an effort to document my life. My life as a Mom, a Wife, a Daughter, a Sister, a Friend. Most days will probably be about my lil' monkey and the new things he's doing, so that when he's 3 and speaking sentences and I can't get him to shut up , I can look back and remember the gibberish he rambled on and on with that sounded like a mix between Russian & German when he was 1. Some blogs may be short, with one or 2 of my favorite pictures from the week and I'm sure there will be a few long ones rambling on about a fun weekend at the cottage or how ridiculously lucky I am to have such an amazing husband, family and friends.

So here it goes :)
