Not gonna catch up!

Each time I sit down and look at this "New Post" screen, I am a bit overwhelmed. There is so much I could write about. We are so blessed; our lives are never boring. I end up typing a couple of sentences and giving up. So here's my admission. You are probably never going to read a blog post about:

• the fun park and zoo visits the kids took with Freeman and Grammy while I was getting used to having Caroline at home;
• the Book-a-Mania Library Event and trip to the planetarium with Oompah;
• the trip back to the planetarium the following week with Grammy and Granddad;
• Thanksgiving and Christmas 2011;
• Zoolights;
  
• the countless trips to the Children's Museum;
• the adventures of learning to get around with three; or
  
• New Year's Eve in the ER (and Hamilton's song about it).

Instead, I am starting with tonight. And keeping it simple. Because, really, I want to have a blog to look back at and remember what life looked like around here and I want to share these things with the family and friends that I don't reach out to as often as I'd like.

Tonight, somewhere between dinner mayhem and bedtime craziness, Freeman rallied the kids for a cool little science lesson. He pulled up the star chart on the computer and found Venus and helped the kids locate it outside our (hand print decorated) window.

It was a sweet moment. I'd write more about that, but I've got a fussy little one on my lap...more soon.
