Dress Up

Two things I know to be true:

1.  Lucy accessorizes better than most.

2.  Caroline gets her fashion sense from her father.

Sunday Funday

Steve and I have both had conversations recently about what our "perfect" Sunday morning would look like. Here is how I imagine it:

We would "sleep in" and get out of bed at 7 or 8 am. We would sit on the couch, drink a ton of coffee, and read the New York Times. That's it.

In actuality, our Sunday mornings begin at 6 am (if we are lucky), they contain an unhealthy number of episodes of Scooby Doo, and the only real news that we get comes from DJ Lance Rock explaining the pros and cons of biting your friends. 

This post may sound bitter, but in actuality, I love our Sundays. I love that there are no expectations about where we should go or whether or not we should get out of our PJs. We have a morning (and usually a full day) of sloth, and we go into the week feeling refreshed. 

At some point in our lives Steve and I will have that "perfect" Sunday.  And the only thing I know for sure is this:  even though we will have exactly what we wished for, we will look back fondly on these days and wish that we were back on the couch watching Yo Gabba Gabba and eating Cheerios.

Who doesn't love matching PJs?

Here's to you, Lucy and Caroline

I consider myself to be fairly technologically savvy, but this blog is certainly putting that belief to the test.

I have been considering a blog for a very long time, and what stopped me from starting one was this question:  what the hell do I have to say that anyone would want anyone to read?

There have been two factors that have encouraged me to start this blog:

1. I have several friends who have blogs, and I really enjoy being able to keep up with them by reading the posts. Both of us have family that lives thousands of miles away, and a blog would be an easy way for everyone to see pictures and get updates without the necessity of facebook, twitter, etc.

2. When our girls get older, I want them to have a record of their childhood.  Since we clearly are not getting that done on paper, I am hoping that an electronic version will be easier to update and will therefore motivate us to regularly make posts.

As for the title ... well, anyone that knows us understands that while we always have good intentions, we don't always deliver.  For example, our "Christmas" cards are still sitting on our counter ready to mailed.  Our birthday gifts rarely make it there on time.  I'm really trying here, people, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. So, maybe someday we will get it together.  Of course, maybe we won't.
