Slideshow Summer '08-Winter '09

Well, this is not exactly what I was hoping for, but until I figure out how to post the actual slideshow, this will have to do! Ok, you got me! It's a brag spot! Not really my style, but I have to say how proud I am that I did this all by myself! (Well, except for a couple of late night calls to the Frees. Oops! Sorry Bill, I know you wanted your wife to yourself since you'd been gone all week.) But nevertheless, I did it! What do you think? Be impressed!!!!!

So here's why this wasn't a good idea...

Right now it is 8:50 p.m. on Thursday night and everyone knows the countdown to Grey's Anatomy is starting! I'm calling out Caleb's spelling words, feeding Ella a bottle that she is NOT taking, and Emma has just been caught with make-up in her room AGAIN! This is what I call serious multi-tasking! I don't know how I will ever keep up with this blog! You may wonder why I chose such a night to work on this, but if you know me AT ALL, you know that I have to finish what I start! Yes, I know, I have some "Rainman" tendancies, but what's a girl to do? You got it! Juggle! I want a slideshow up and running by the time I go to bed tonight. Oh yeah, about that...since I am just getting started and there is no way (that I've found) to manipulate the date on this thing, I have decided to begin with a slideshow of random pictures of our family over the last several months. Those of you reading this also know that I am so burdened to keep everything equal between my children. But because Emma is most often the subject of our photos, there may be more of her. I'll try to equally spread the love! So here it goes...

And THANK GOD that Grey's is a re-run tonight! I do not have time to give McSteamy my undivided attention!

There is a first time for everything!

This is so not me! A blog spot, what? I have to admit that before I was convinced to create my own, I thought of them more as a "brag spot"! (Sorry, girls!) However, after seeing how cute all of your blogs are, I decided that it might be fun! Plus, I know my mom and sister will enjoy seeing what all we have going on. I'm not going to make any promises about how often I will be updating things, but I will do my best! After convincing myself to do this blog thing, the hardest part was convincing my husband. Wow! Who would've ever thought that my "Scotty too Hotty" would turn out to be so protective of his family? Whew! I have to admit that it's kind of endearing, but sometimes clashes with my independent spirit! He's still not sold on the Facebook idea, but since I definitely don't have time to keep up with that, this will have to do! So be impressed all of you technology savvy girls! (And thank Haylee, who convinced my sweet hubby that there would be no pedophiles watching his kids on the internet!)
