Happy 2014 to all! I love the beginning of the year, as it can be such a nice demarcation for a fresh start on things. We don't do well with Resolutions, but it is always good to rethink how we are doing things in our household, in our family, in our parenting, and make some new goals. This space is always a goal for me as you may have seen in the past 2 years! I would like to blame it all on that 4th child and the new level of busy that brought to our house, but really, I think my problem was getting behind and then not knowing where to start again. Do I start posts from 2 months back? 5 months back? Do I just write about this child's birthday when I haven't posted about the one that was a month ago? It was honestly easier to just stop. But the two blogs that I enjoy reading the most are both of my sister-in-laws' blogs, and love seeing their families basically grow up in those spaces and the wonderful record that they have of it. So I really don't want to call it quits. I want to keep taking photos and capturing moments and memories and writing about them so that we can share them with all of you, and look back on them and have fun seeing how little everyone was then. (Although I can't imagine thinking how little they are now, because they all are SO BIG! =) So new goals need to be set. Again. =)
1. Hoping to post more present events and activities right after they happen (like about Carsten's birthday yesterday).
2. Not to get bogged down by what I wanted to but didn't post (like Henry's birthday 2 months ago).
3. Not forget those events past (oh Henry will get a birthday post!), just come back to them when I can - don't stress, just enjoy posting.
4. FUN FRIDAYS need to come back! We still have them, I still have pictures of them all, they just haven't made it to here. (Why I stopped posting them is a perfect example of how things have gotten out of control for me. We had a Fun Friday with Marcus and Amy, and rather than post about just that day, I wanted to post about the rest of their time here first, but that didn't happen and pretty soon another Friday and another Friday and another Friday went by and then I just stopped because that was easier. sigh.)
I will start here with these ideas, and see where we go. Hopefully when I look back here in a couple of months I will be happier with this space, rather than just sighing and skipping on to the next thing on the list. =) Because through all that happens, I have this wonderful family and a full life and the grace of God. We are so, so blessed.

Just start where you are. Missed some things but don't stop. We love this spot.
