Spring

Arg, I am getting so far behind on blogging over and over again! I think I'm getting kind of burned out on blogging, and it seems most of you are too. The three main bloggers that influenced me to start a blog myself were Candace, Alysun and Kristal. That was five years ago - man, time flies!! Back then, these gals were blogging maniacs, posting nearly daily or even multiple times a day (Kristal ;). We were all so faithful to comment on each other's blogs. It really was a lot of fun. And while it seems like there are more blogs than ever before in the blogosphere, most of those in my immediate sphere are dying out. And my own motivation to keep up with my blog has been affected. It's not nearly so fun to blog when no one is commenting and my bloggy friends are so rarely updating their blogs.

That said, I am still committed to it. I need to be. Because all those Creative Memories scrap book materials collecting dust in my closest are never going to morph into baby books. And all my pretty journals sitting in stacks with blank pages are never going turn into special diary keepsakes. It's just reality. I admit it. Blogging is the easiest way for me to chronicle our family's memories during these most precious years of raising little ones, and I need to stick with it. Burnout or not.

But before I play catch up (because, I really don't have time to today), here are few pictures from this lovely spring afternoon. A bit chilly, but gloriously beautiful! And Ben decided it was a perfect day to fly the remote control helicopter I'd given him and Kevin for Christmas. :)

  Abby climbed up in the tree and asked me to take a picture:

Then she never wanted to get down and even pretended to take a nap. Silly girl! :)

 

This guy thinks he is so big and always has to keep up with older sister and brother!  (And he gives me a heart attack sometimes!)

Abby got a few turns with the helicopter before we walked back to the house. I quickly snapped a few pictures of some spring happenings in our front yard before we headed in for naptime. I love this time of the year!
