My First Entry

I've wanted to do this for a long time now. My motivation is simple. I don't want to forget. There is so much that happens each day in our house....I want to remember it forever.

We have three little boys. Connor is almost 4, Jackson is 2 1/2 and Sawyer is 7 months old. They are truly the little loves of my life. (Their daddy, Craig, is the big love of my life.) I cannot imagine my life without them...though I'd probably be getting more sleep. I work full time...and then come home and work full-time. It is the best, busiest, craziest, most exhausting, most exhillarating job I've ever had. The problem is...my brain is getting a little fuzzy. I'm only half kidding. After three kids in three years...I can't seem to remember much at all. So...I'm turning to a blog. This way, there's a permanent record of my thoughts!

Last weekend, Connor walked into our bedroom at about 11:00. The wind was picking up and it was going to rain. Connor rushed in...with a perfectly straight face...and said, "mom, its an emergency!" He went on to say that he was worried that his toys were outside..and the baby birds we'd been watching for the past week were in their nest. He threw his arm into the air and said...mommy, you need to put your arm up in the air and tell the rain to stop!.

He was so serious. It made me stop in my tracks, that he thought I could do that. A few days later we were outside and it was windy. He told me he was going to stop the wind. So, he put his hand up and told the wind to stop.

I asked where he learned that...he said, Jesus did. He went on to tell me that in his Bible story book Jesus calmed the water. He thought he could do the same. Wow.
