Why am I starting a Blog?

Why am I starting a Blog?  I'm not sure but I've been thinking about it for the past month.  Today it dawned on me that I've been reading my sisters blog and learning about her life and I haven't been able to share mine as much.

My sister is in New Zealand for the next year and I'm starting to miss talking to her or having her stop by my house.  Every so often she would call and just want to come over and see me.  Samuel misses her too.  He can climb chairs now and every time mine is empty he crawls up and touches my computer looking for his Auntie.  He thinks she lives in my computer, because he only sees her when we video chat.

Why am I starting a Blog?  I've had this urge to write about my day and have started composing blogs in my head.  I've always been scared to write.  My teachers were never very supportive of my writing.  They always complained that they couldn't understand why I couldn't write since I read all the time.

Maybe someone will read this or maybe they won't but I'm still going to try and write down my thoughts everyday.

  1. Go for it Suzanne! That's funny that Samuel thinks Auntie lives in the computer. We skype with Ana all the time, and when we took them back to Spokane last week, while we were still at their house, Ana pointed to the computer screen and said "GaGa". At that point we said we needed to go home, so "Skype GaGa's" could come back, LOL. PS, this is Lynn, but our google account is in Jere's name;-)

  2. Yay! I'm so happy you are doing this! My friend Denise also started a blog just recently. You should follow it because I think it will be about her and raising her son!

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference.

Family Movie Night

Last night we had our 1st Family Movie Night.  Samuel can almost sit still for about 30 minutes at a time, so I figured he was ready.  We borrowed Cars from my dad and finally got to watch a Blu-Ray movie in our new Blu-Ray player.  Cars seemed like Samuel's speed, he loves Thomas and Friends and cars with faces can't be that much different than trains with faces. Family Movie Night was like embarking on a new adventure, could 3 people with very different tastes and attention spans enjoy the same movie?  Turns out we can for about 30 minutes. At 8:30pm dressed in our PJs we all climbed in to bed and started Cars.  Samuel was so cute sitting between Mommy and Daddy.  He was watched very intently as the cars raced around the track in the opening credits, he identified the helicopter as an airplane and watched for other things he could name.  He tapped his hands to the music and wanted water just like mommy and daddy had.  This family bliss laste...

3 Weeks Yesterday...

As of today I have been the mom to two kids for 3 weeks and 1 day. Wow!  There was a point in time where I thought I'd never have kids.  After we got married we still thought we wouldn't have kids.  After a year and a half of blissful married life, we had a miscarriage.  This got us thinking, maybe one kid would be kinda fun.  Samuel was born two months after our 3rd anniversary. Samuel was so much fun.  A cute little person to hold and love, to explore the world through his eyes.  He fit right into our life.  He was almost too relaxed.  Samuel wasn't big on eating so he slept alot and didn't gain much weight at first.  Once we got the weight gain on the right track he was still an awesome sleeper.  He started sleeping through the night at 2 months.  He almost never cried and was happiest playing on the floor. After Samuel turned one, we thought we had this parenting thing figured out, so why not try for another...
