First Post of Our New Family Blog!

I am going to jump right in ... here is our new blog!  I wanted to make everything look perfect before posting but then it may never happen.  So, I decided to start writing and hopefully I will be able to change the look and the functions of the blog as I go.  

I will state up front that this blog has two main purposes - for us to record our lives to remember for the future and share with our children, while keeping in touch with family and friends near and far.  

Here is a brief update on our family, in case we haven't seen for you a while!  (I am guessing everyone reading this blog knows us.)  : )

• We are living in San Angelo, Texas.  It is in West Texas, a very friendly city of about 90,000 people that is basically in the desert.  We moved here in October 2010 when Tyler got a new position as a Superintendent with a concrete construction company.  We love the people here but do miss having trees around!
• Esther turned 2 years old in March.  She is great!  We are having so much fun with her as she is talking in sentences and learning to play and pretend.
• We welcomed our second baby on March 3.  His name is Jesse Tyler, and he is a very happy and easygoing baby.  We are thrilled to have him in our family!
• I have been learning so much here about being a wife and a mother.  Recently, I am enjoying trying to cook more nutritiously and make more things for our family from scratch.  I am sure I will include more about this later.

I am planning to include posts on family updates as well as some stories from the past four years - mostly for our own future remembrance but hopefully enjoyable reading for others as well! Of course, I will include some pictures and videos too.  I would like to also write about other neat ideas or information as we come across them.  And perhaps we will even have Tyler post occasionally!  

So welcome to our blog!
