My family intro

Hello friends and family! I hope you enjoy this blog. Often I'm asked in conversation what is new in our household, or what has been going on - and I usually give the same answer "oh not much! just working and taking care of kids". haha When actually our days are usually quite busy and sometimes exciting, although sometimes they really are boring and not much is going on.

I thought I'd create a blog to keep friends and family updated on our life with daily (uhh I'm not THAT ambitious!) or weekly (or maybe sometimes monthly) updates.

For those that are not familiar with me and my family, I'll give a quick rundown on the need-to-know facts....
