Here I go into the wild, blue blogging world...

Hello everyone! I've decided that since I love checking out my friends' blogs and have found it such a fantastic way to keep up with everyone that I must start my own!! It's probably not going to be very fancy or even pretty as I muddle my way through so you'll just have to bare with me. :)

The most recent big accomplishments for our family have been the kids going off to school!! Gwen just started Kindergarten and absolutely loves it!! She comes home every day with fun stories about what she did at school, who said what, and requests for playdates! Anyone that knows Gwen knows that she is my little social butterfly--she is happiest when she has a friend or two around. Gwen is in school every day until 2:45, which has been a huge adjustment for Evan and I. Around noon we both start looking at the clock just waiting for the moment we can leave to go pick Gwen up.

The upside to Gwen being in school for much of the day is that it is giving Evan and I a lot more one on one time together, which is very precious time indeed. We've been going to the library, bowling, and whatever else strikes Evan's fancy that day. Evan is also attending school...He attends a Home Preschool every Wed and Fri for 3 hrs. Miss Krystal, his teacher, is beyond wonderful and she sends me pictures after each school day so that I can see the fun he's having there as he learns.

Well, I really hope that this will pan out as a fun way to keep in touch with our scattered friends and family. Much love to you all!!!
