Natural History Museum

We are now proud members.  You know your kids are getting older when you trade in the Children's Museum pass for the Natural History Museum pass.  Here's a pic from today.

The time has come

 It has been many months since I have so much as looked at this blog.  I had written it off as a dead thing, a project of the past.  Yesterday I was looking at my dashboard, enjoying the concept of blogging and revisiting old projects.  During this reflection, it occurred to me that this blog was worth revival!  I was surprised to find that I had started it in 2006, a good 4 years ago!  Another surprise to me was the fact that I had consistently put up a decent number of blogs each year.  I mean, nothing like some people who post multiple blogs a month, but a good amount of pictures and dialogue to reflect upon.  I started this blog to be a journal of things in life as my children grew, and that really and truly is what it has morphed into.  I can look back at pictures of my babies from 2006 and watch them grow to now.  This blog has succeeded in being what I initially hoped it would be, and revisiting it has made me realize that I don't need to blog daily or even monthly to give me something beautiful and fantastic to reflect upon for many years to come.  Here are some pictures of our life over the past year, and also a shout out to our other (more current) collaborative blog and metaphoric picture into our life at www.radioacresfarm.blogspot.com.
