{one line a day} begins. . . .

Today, February 1st, may have been the first day that I actually wrote the date and didn''t have to correct my mistake (again) writing 2009 instead of 2010.

February is my new January

If you haven't visited here for awhile like me, then you're probably surprised by the growth in our family. . .both in numbers and in size!

Let me introduce (or re-introduce) you to everyone. . . .
Front Row, left to right. . .
Hailey ~ Granddaughter (Robb & Becky’s #3 - 7 yrs)
Henry ~ Grandson (Robb & Becky’s #2 - 9 yrs old)
Kathy ~ (53 yrs)
Doug ~ (58 yrs)
Taylor ~ Daughter(17 yrs)
Avery ~ Granddaughter (Rachel & Ryan’s #1 - 3 yrs)

Back Row, left to right . . .
Becky ~ Daughter-in-law (35 yrs)
Robb ~ Son (34 yrs)
Hayden ~ Grandson (Robb & Becky’s #4 - almost 2yrs)
Hunter ~ Grandson (Robb & Becky’s #1 - 13 yrs)
Madison ~ Daughter (14 yrs)
Campbell – Granddaughter (Rachel & Ryan’s #2 - 1 yr)
Ryan ~ Son-in-law (31 yrs)
Rachel ~ Daughter (31 yrs)

As much as I don't want to post my age, I figure it's only fair. Hopefully, there will come a day when I look back at this and think "I didn't really look my age". But then again, the next generation same age will probably look pretty darn good.

I've always envied people that commit to keeping a journal. My mother's mother wrote in a daily journal her entire adult life. Admirable. My father's mother recorded the scores of every card game they played in their home. Weird. Frankly, I don't like to write that much anymore. . .I mean actually WRITE. After years of typing, writing now takes too long, I get impatient, sloppy. So much so, there are times when I can't read my own handwriting. Sad. But I do have this desire to record what happens in our daily life. . .even if it's a line at a time. . .so I think that's what I'll start to do. .. one line a day, beginning next week.

My resolution. . .February 1, 2010. . .One Line a Day {at least}. I can do that.
