This blog thing

Well I have done it again I have managed to stay away from blogging.  When I started this I did it so that my family could recall and recount the things our family did together or to see the small moments that touched their mother's heart.  When I am consistently writing  I constantly struggle with people looking into our life without having the full picture.  If I think about most of my posts they are the highlights of life not the down and dirty moments with my kids.  Anytime I ever post anything I write it through the lens of my children and try to think if they read this as adults will they see the love we had for them or will they see frustration and anger?  I want to reassure you that you are welcome to read about our life and take a peek into our family, but please don't think for a moment that Ben and I have it all together as parents.  We recognize that the journey the Lord put us on is a messy one, in the end I hope it brings glory to Him!
