first post

Here we go. I'm going to try to blog. Some may ask why I would attempt to add one more thing to an already full plate, but I actually look at this blog as a way to simplify my life. Rather than sending email updates to grandparents, friends, aunts, uncles, and everyone in between who may or may not even care about the growing pains of my gilmer boys now I can just blog about it. Whoever wants to read it can and the rest can…well I don't really care what the rest do! I'm writing this blog for me. I blinked and 4 years have gone by since my first child was born. My baby is already 15 months and before I know it they will be going off to college. I want a way to slow down time or least have a way to document it. Life is so busy and maybe just maybe this blog will help me to slow down, look around, and take in the precious moments that come with being a mommy! so here we are…me, my sweet husband, Albi, and the gilmer boys. I guess technically Albi is a gilmer boy too…once again I'm the odd one out in this family of slugs and snails and puppy dog tails
