Why I blog

Yes, I blog a lot. I feel kind of lame that I blog so frequently with a newborn, but let me explain when I blog... When the kids are asleep or when Susannah is sleeping and Hunter is pleasantly playing.

I caught myself, though.

I am so excited to slather photos of my precious children all over the internet (read: facebook and blog) so that my beloved sister who is in Van can see the kids as they change and grow and so that my dear family and friends far away can be in on our lives... too excited? My confession: Susannah was only a few days old and Justin was called to his first day of work. Hunter was playing and Susannah was a happy awake little girl. I had just fed her, so I put her down on the bed behind me and blogged. WHAT??? I had my dear dear precious newborn daughter in my arms and I put her down so that I could blog?!!

I cried about it, later, to Justin when I realized what I had done. Never again. I find myself, at three (or four, or five, or one) in the morning, sitting in my wonder-chair, exhausted, sharing love with my little girl. Where else would I rather be? NOWHERE!! This morning, at church, she exploded through her diaper, sleeper and blanket so I took off to the change table.

I need to tell you something. There is nowhere, on this wonderful Earth that God has so incredibly created, that I would rather be than with my kids and my hubby. So, that's what I think when I am up at crazy hours (though she is an amazing sleeper) or doing stinky duty. These days are so brief and I am so incredibly blessed to have the responsibility that I do to share this precious time with my little ones. There is nowhere that I would rather be.

So, you're wondering about my blogging habits. Let me guarantee you this. The kids are asleep and I will be soon, just after I show you how cute they are!

Heather, I love you and miss you. See you soon, at Thanksgiving. All my faraway friends and family, I love you and miss you too. These... are for you!
