I'm Back . . . I Hope!

I'd pretty much given up on updating my blog, in case you hadn't noticed! I originally set it up to keep grandparents living out of town up to date on pictures and what the kids were up to. However, the only grandparent who ever looked at it (my Mom) is now living here, so I really couldn't see the point! Now that the kids are all in school full time, I thought I'd give it another shot and see if I could be more faithful updating it. I won't even attempt to catch up, I'm too far behind! So, here are two big events since my last update. The first, Hannah learned to ride her bike!

Go Hannah!

Next on my list of "Big News" is that Joel and I have finally discovered an upside to him working the night shift. The kids are in school, so we get to go on dates every week! Yep that's right - every week! After over a decade of trying to squeeze in a date every few months if we were lucky, this has been wonderful!Speaking of Joel, he has really been taking some gorgeous pictures lately, which is another reason I couldn't resist resuming the blog - I've just got to share these!

Here are a couple of my recent favorites:

I plan on uploading some more in a separate post, I don't know if Blogger is working differently or if it's just funky today, but I'm having issues with moving the pictures around the text.
