This is your blog

Five years ago tonight I went into labor with Anna Riley. FIVE YEARS! I can't believe how the time has flown! For a "birthing gift" Demian gave me a starter scrapbook collection. I had visions of pictures, cropping, creating elaborate scrapbooks for each stage of Anna Riley's life.....so far.....no scrapbook. I have used the materials in the kit to make birthday invitations and thank you notes, but the scrapbook itself still has the wrapper on it. My mother would be so disappointed.



With two children, a husband, and a part-time job, I can barely keep our lives straight, much less pour over pictures for hours. But, we have tons of pics and it is the year 2007. So, AR and Porter. Here is your blog. We might share with family and friends, but this is for YOU! One day when you are grown, you can look back on these entries with your children and spouse and laugh at yourselves and especially your mom and dad. We love you more than words can say and can't wait to continue on our adventure of life together.
