Why not give it a try?

I figured since the majority of our family does not live close enough where we are able to visit regularly, I would start a blog to keep others updated on what is going on in our life.  It is nothing exciting or out of the ordinary, but hopefully you will enjoy it! I have never blogged before, so bear with me as I try this out.

Gabrielle will be 4 months old tomorrow...it's so hard to believe! Time has gone so fast and we are all enjoying this time with her so far! Veronica and Presley are great little helpers and we love having them around to help.  She is giggling now, which Brook and I find amusing and I find myself acting crazy just to get a small giggle out of her! She is not rolling over yet, but can manage to turn herself in a full circle while lying on her belly on the floor. She has the best smile and it seems to be contagious.  You can't help but smile back at her when she gives you a big grin!

Veronica is in 3rd grade now and Presley is in 1st.  Veronica is struggling a little more this year and is becoming very stubborn ( I don't know where she gets that from), so we are doing what we can to help her and keep her interested. Brook has better ways of explaining things so she can understand it than I do, so I leave that to him a lot of the time! Veronica is a very helpful girl and it is great that she loves to help so much with Gabrielle! She also loves to help me make dinner...hopefully this continues as she gets older! Presley on  seems to have blossomed in school this year! She says she likes it this year and has gotten all A's and one B both quarters this year.  Her only B each time has been in handwriting.  This is because she likes to hurry through things, not because she can't write correctly.  I am sure everyone who knows Presley well doesn't find this hard to believe.  She is a very funny little girl with a big personality! She knows what she likes (and doesn't like) and isn't afraid to share it with everyone!

I will try to update this on a regular basis and not bore you all with what I share! Here are a few recent pictures of the girls as well.

  1. This is such a great idea Tracey!!! I miss the girls (and you too) so much -- this helps. I hope to be able to see you guys when you come down here & I am trying to figure out when I can come up to Ohio before summer. I love you all. Love, Mom (Grandma Jan)

  4. Kim...I will not mind if you "copy me"! Haha! I think it's a cool idea, so it would be great if you did it too!
    Laura...sure I will send a message or something
    when I update it. I don't know if it will notify you automatically since became a follower of the blog. I guess we will find out!

  5. It does not notify you, even if you are a follower, but if you go to the google reader page, it will show if it is updated. I have other blogs I read, so I have them all in a list, and that is what I check every day. Makes it easy that way!
