Why We Blog

The last two weeks have been fairly rough around here. Justin (whose also going through separation anxiety) has cut three teeth in less than a month, Jeff was sick, Norah ran a fever of a 100 degrees for a day and a half, I ended up sick, and Justin (not wanting to be left out) also caught it. Most nights have resulted in very little sleep for Justin and myself as he is obviously too miserable to get comfortable enough to sleep. This means that the days have passed by in a blur and I am actually more tired now than I was when we first brought him home from the hospital.


This morning, he woke up at 4:30 and was back in bed by 5:30 at which point I was wide awake. I knew that Jeff's alarm would be going off about the time I would fall asleep, so I headed out to the computer. I should have been working on laundry or dishes, but found myself thinking as I watched the sunrise.

Our main purpose behind this blog was to create a well documented account of our family as we grow and learn and live. It's our gift to Norah and Justin, and it's why we try so hard to be accurate and detailed in regards to dates and events. We want them to be able to look back on it years from now and see everything that was happening, how they changed, and how we faced the challenges and joys of being parents. So many things happen on a daily basis, and it's so easy to forget as time moves forward the little things that bring us so much happiness in the now. The little moments and the big moments that we try to capture for them and for us.
