So, here it is, almost a year later (but not quite, so I won't feel quite as guilty), and I'm just now blogging again. Journaling about ANYTHING has never been my strong point. (I guess I should clarify that this is Emily, not Eric, writing this blog, although maybe he'll "guest post" one day?). I finally bought a journal called "One Line A Day: A Five Year Memory Book" that allows you to write one or two sentences for the day, which I thought would be less overwhelming than staring at a composition book that just begged to be filled with words. What is hard about journaling/documenting our family life is that it can get...repetitive. As in, "Oh, today we went to the park...again. And then we went to Sonic...again, and Caleb got a corn dog...like he always does, and Adam screamed that he wanted Sprite instead of lemonade...as usual." Now, journaling privately in a book is one thing, but putting it out for the world to see in a BLOG, well, that's another story altogether. Now we have people judging whether they think your life is as interesting as YOU think it is, or, judging your thoughts on certain issues, judging your kids based on their behavior, judging your parenting based on your reaction to their behavior, etc. All of this has prevented me from putting some of our family's adventures with having two boys out there for the world to see. But then, I decided to change my perspective. No, I can't make somebody NOT judge me, or my kids, but I can let them into our life a little. It may not be the most news-worthy life, but it is our life. So, here is our life. Hope you enjoy the ride along with us!
