Moving Picture Box

When I first moved to North Carolina I started a blog so that I could share our daily life with our out of state family and friends. I was pretty good at keeping it current since we had no social life and basically never left our house. Then Makayla came along and I made the decision to find us some friends. Jake was begging to meet the little boy across the street and I desperately needed some adult interaction. I found us a playgroup and packed up the 3 kids and headed out. The kids and I had a great time so when we got home I marched them across the street and let Jake play with the little boy. This was the start of our life with some really great friends. With that said, our lives changed and we became insanely busy. There was never a dull moment as I shuffled the kids from playgroup to playgroup and became involved in my neighborhoods Ladies Drinks. We always had something to do. I knew we had made a success of life in NC when Jason said, “Ok, you can stop making friends now.” Then I realized that I wasn’t keeping my blog up to date so I deleted it. Now that I think about it, I wish I had kept it or printed it out so I could always remember the memories we made. It seems like the kids amaze me everyday and I need a place to keep track of all the great things they do. When I was a little girl my dad said, “One day soon I’m going to get a moving picture box so we could always recapture the good times we may otherwise forget.” This is my moving picture box.
