It's My First Time.

Okay, well, here goes. I do like to write, but I can't seem to keep up with my journal...picking up the pen is just not working right now. I need a place to dump my thoughts, share good news, interpret my dreams. I'm hoping that this space fills that need. My short term goal is to post twice a week or more until December 20, the date that our second child will enter the world.

I have been thinking about blogging for awhile, but I was kickstarted by my daughter, E. Last week, she learned to say the word "chocolate", only she adds an extra syllable, so it sounds like "cho-lo-co-late". This word, in her little, 19-month old voice, is bouncing around in my head...soon it will be gone. She will be corrected by some well-meaning soul, and that extra syllable will be gone forever. And my heart will break. I desperately need to have a record of that syllable.
