To blog or not to blog...

So I have been thinking about creating a blog for a while now as a way of documenting our lives and sharing them with our friends and family--mostly because we are notorious for not sharing pictures -- and frequently not even taking any (eek!). Therefore, I have convinced myself to create this blog to keep all who wish to know informed about our lives and to strongly encourage me to take more pictures of our family. So here we go, oh and since this is going to document our story, I would like to start at the beginning (so my kids have some record of how it all went down). Some of you know the story, some of you don't and many of you were there with us when it all started...
