Dear Kamryn & Christian

Dear Kamryn and Christian,

I thought it was about time since you are almost two and finally truly enjoying bathtime that we could bump it up a notch and breakout the bubbles. I thought you would really love them. This is the posting where I was going to share with everyone some bubble bath pictures from your very first bubble bath....or not. There are no pictures because there was no bubble bath. You see, I got the tub already with lots of Mr. Bubble and then we brought you guys into the bathtub and once you saw the bubbles-crying and screaming and terror ensued. I tried to just hand you some bubbles and put some on your skin and that was terrible. I tried to just put fearless Christian in the bathtub. All of a sudden you turned into a stiff cat that refused to let go and tried to climb up me as fast as you could. The whole time I tried to drain the bathtub of the bubbles ...still crying. I thought it would be nice end to the Memorial Day of two graduation parties, lots of playing and lots of sunscreen to play in the bubbles...I guess not. We will have to desensitize you guys to Mr.Bubble.

Blogaversary

One year ago today I started this blog. I have love / like relationship with it. I would LIKE to post more often. I would LOVE to post everyday. I think I could find something for everyday if I could just find the time.  

I was just explaining to Dan that I started the blog intending to eventually have it bound into a book so it could be somewhat of a scrap book. I was trying to explain that I was tossing around the idea of starting a "private blog" . Not making this blog go private but starting a whole other one. One where I could put anything on and no one would question my decisions. Decisions like finding an entry that says : May 8th 2009-We are finally bottle free!! Cause 22 months is late in the game to stop bottles. Or one that I could write an entry for Kamryn and Christian to tell them what their crazy nicknames were. So I tossed that idea around for awhile and I thought. Its already late May and I have posted nothing this month. Do I have time to maintain two blogs? I dont. If I went to two blogs would I concentrate more on the private one and neglect the exisiting one? Who knows. So I have decided to just stick with the one and maybe change the format a little. For the second year of blogging, its just going to be mine. Well mine and yours. We will have to share. Somethings I will write cause I want you to know. Somethings I will write really just for our family cause it was important to us and maybe I just wanted to remember the date. Something I will write because I want Kamryn and Christian to know in the future. I think those will be Dear Kamryn and Dear Christian. I just don't want to have to worry about what other people think with this -this one thing in my life. Worrying about what other people think is kinda draining sometimes. So with this I am letting it go. I am going barenaked blogging.  So take what you want and leave the rest. If you think somethings aren't the norm or are crazy, well I just don't care cause I am writing for me now.
