I have decided that it is time to start a blog. Especially since we are starting our family and we live so far away. I want to do better at staying in touch with family/friends and having a blog is a great way. I tried to catch up at least since baby Mark was born three months ago.  I have really enjoyed my sister-in-law's blog (Becky). I haven't seen their son Mason in person yet, but I feel like I know him through her blog and I hope that I can do the same. She does a really good job keeping all of us updated on how her and Mason are doing and my brother Matt. I want our family to be apart of our son's life, so I am really thankful for these blogs and for my friend Nikki who came over and showed me how to make one.
