To My Future Self

Hello?  Is there anyone out there?
I doubt it.
I've abandoned this blog, but I've decided to come back, and write to my future self.
 There are just so many things I want to always remember.

 
 I want to always remember the time James found two fresh eggs in the coop, then put them in his pant pockets, and then went and jumped on the trampoline.  I also want to remember how James can tear it up on skis down the mountain and make it to the top of the rock climbing wall.

 And I want to remember how Caleb chases the chickens for hours each day, grabs their tail feathers, and then pins them.

 And I never want to forget Daniel's first cello concert, or seeing him out-ski me.

 And then there is Anna, who thinks 50 degrees is swim suit weather and she can't get enough bike riding in in a day.

Mostly, I just want to remember how bright and colorful life is.

You're such a good mom to write these things down. Our blog has fallen by the wayside too but I'm always thinking about how much I will miss having these little snippets of my kids lives written down. It's my goal to be better too. And you're on my feedly blog feed, so your posts always show up for me to read. :)
