Holy Cow Batman-It has been over a year

I really have no excuse as to why it has been over a year since that last time that I posted on this blog.  Oh wait, maybe I do know.  I have a wonderful husband that I try to pay attention to, 3 adorable children, a teaching career, attending grad school, soccer, swimming and the list goes on as to why my life is a bit busy. 

I really enjoy reading the blogs of others, and it always seems as if they have so many profound words to profess that I sometimes think, "I have nothing to say in comparison to them."  But the real reason I started blogging was to keep a running journal of my family's life events, not to impress others.  I don't know how often I really will blog, but I sure hope that I can commit to at least once a month. 

I know my life isn't as crazy as so me, but I don't know how those "really busy people" do it all.  My question is...What gives? I try to make dinner, keep the house clean, enjoy my passions, spend time with family etc etc etc, but I just can't seem to do it all.  I am kind of a homebody in that, I like to be home in the evening with my family.  I enjoy spending evenings at our home doing family activities, but it just doesn't seem to happen lately.  We are being pulled in 100 directions all of the time. 

Enough about that.  I am off to run errands, run kids to soccer, make dinner and enjoy my life. 

This is a cute, from my phone, picture of the kids watching the finish of the Yukon Quest.  It was a beautiful evening, for February, so we put on our winter gear and headed down on to the river to watch a few mushers come across the finish line.
