The Blog...

As anyone reading this knows, It's been a while.

Ever since I started working at the home it has been difficult to maintain my blog. In August morning sickness added to the difficulty and I have rarely posted since then.

I enjoy photographing my kids and sharing those photos with family and friends. I also enjoy sharing my experiences with other moms, in hopes that someone can lean from my ideas and my mistakes. I am not good at keeping up with baby books and I am very glad I have highlights from the first few months of Haley's life recorded . I hope that I will be able to devote the same amount of attention, if not time, to writing about my newest baby.

With these thoughts in mind I am attempting to revive my blog. There are many things I want to write about, but in attempt to catch up I often get overwhelmed and write nothing. I am going to try to stop being so hard on myself and just move on when I don't finish a post or if I skip an important milestone. I will try to keep the post coming even when I get discouraged, and occasionally I maygo back and finish a post I never finished, or never even started. So here is a list of things I may (or may not) post about.

But first, an introduction.

Liam Isaiah Washburn was born on April 27th at 5:04 am

10lbs. 7oz. 20 1/2 in.

He's a big "onion"

Haley is slowly adjusting to being a big sister. She misses her one on one attention, but seems to like having a baby around.

So, without further ado, some things to look forward to...

• Laim's birth story and 1 month update
• An update on Haley: she is a chatterbox who loves books, tutus, boots, and the sandbox
• Haley's favorite toys and my other favorite baby gear
• Summer plans for me and for the kids
• Liam's pictures from his time in the oven, and his attempted photo shoots since. 
• Some thoughts on motherhood, prayer, and whatever else keeps me awake until one in the morning.
• My latest crafting endeavors

So I hope you're still checking back and I hope you're excited for more. I make no guarantees but I will try to give you something to come back for at least once a week (but hopefully a lot more. If nothing else it seems like a good way to spend the time until Liam falls asleep.

Also, if you are still reading I let me know, maybe it's the inspiration I need to keep updating. Also, I have a challenge for you. My creative juices have been mommy brained, and I need a new name for my blog. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, as well as ideas for what you would like to read about or see pictures of. 

And I leave you with this for the night. The Washburn family at it's finest.
