Tad and I have terrible memories. I don't mean we have memories that are terrible...I mean that we don't remember things well (just to be clear). Luckily we have known each other since we were 8 years old, and can help fill in the blanks of our childhood when one of us has a lapse (we also have friends like Dana who tell us stories of our childhood better than we could even remember it!). Now that we have kiddos, we are realizing that the little day to day pseudo-milestones and funny quirks of our three boys are being fizzled out of our brains quicker than we would like. As a remedy to this, I am approaching this next year with an effort to document more of our lives...so that we can look back on 2011, and actually remember what our growing family was thinking, feeling, doing, and experiencing. Each week we are going to pick a "photo of the week", and we hope to add to this blog at least as often. With family abroad, Tad and I showing signs of amnesia, and boys who are too caught up in the glory that is childhood, this will hopefully help us all keep tabs on what is actually filling up our time here on Earth.
