This Blog Will be my Journal

I can't even believe I remember the log in and website for this sweet blog! I also can't believe I started it 10 years ago. A decade. Wow. I was just sitting here thinking I wish I had a journal, family album, scrap book to have for the girls to read when they're older. Memories of our family! I have Facebook which I'm sure will be around forever. They can look at my profile and see what our family was up to as they grew up. But to read my words, to see how proud I am of them, to see how much I love them. When they are teenagers maybe they'll read this blog and take a trip down memory lane or maybe they'll avoid it at all cost! Who knows! Maybe this will just simply be for me! For me to look back on and remember this crazy season of my life! Raising kids is no joke! Every possible emotion goes into it. Every ounce of patience and energy. But I wouldn't trade a second if it! Maybe I'll feel rested again one day! Ha! I'm not good at sitting down and journaling. And I LOVE pictures. I take so many! So here I am to bring back to life my blog! Two years of a gap. So much change in the kiddos. I wish now I had journaled my homeschool time with ayda! What a blast those 2 years were. What a joy to be her teacher. Harper is almost 3! The last pictures I posted she was a baby. And Hadley! How she has changed and come into her own the last 2 years. She is passionate, witty, a sweet heart. I'm not even going to try to bridge the 2 years. I think I'll fill in as I go. I have had a lot of healing emotionally and physically the last 2 years. A lot of growth from the Lin 5! So here we go! I do hope this becomes something special for our family to read and enjoy in the years to come!
