So we have wanted to have a form of online journal to share with our kids as they grow up. I have kept hand-written journals for both children individually since we first expected our oldest child. However, I don't know if I can keep up the entries as the days become more full of fun things to share as well as recognizing how accessible an online format will be over the years.
Having shared those thoughts, the primary purpose of this venue will not be to keep anyone that finds us up to date, rather to document our lives as we raise our kids. Maybe it is a way of freeze framing our daily lives so that our children can one day look back and reads word of prayer, affirmation, love and see all the fun we have had along the way.
At times I intend to write personal entries to our children and will probably find my sentimental self pouring our words from a parent's heart that aches to hold on to each of these days. I hope you'll overlook some of my sappiness at these moments.
