2013- the year I keep my blog updated, hopefully :)

So, with facebook and instagram my blog has suffered greatly this past year. And I have the folders and folders of pics on my computer to prove it. We really had a great year, and I am loving watching my children grow! The original purpose of this blog was to document said growth- but now with family and friends far away (sniff sniff) I really want it to be a way for them to see what we've been up to. Cuz, let's face it, we're always up to something lol
As we were making our new year's resolutions I reflected on how important relationships are. And how easy it is to let them fade if there is not a consistent effort to maintain them. I love reading all I can about what is going on in the lives of the family and friends that I can't just run over and squeeze anymore, and I thought maybe they crave that, too. I mean, phone calls and texts are great- but I love seeing the pics and hearing about the everyday occurrences. Anyways, my point is: while I am still maintaining this blog mostly for myself, I want to keep it updated more regularly for my loved ones to catch up with us at their leisure ;)

Here is the last photo uploaded from 2012:

and the first photo uploaded from 2013

ummmm yeah, we've gotten into guns with the looming zombie apocalypse and all ;) and apparently I'm a pretty good shot (although, Kerry tells me that guns aren't really going to be practical and I should really focus more on my ax and/or shovel wielding skills- but i digress)

Life is good! Kids are healthy and happy- get ready to hear way more about us all this year
