First Day Favorites
Augh, I’ve fallen behind again. Sometimes I wonder if maybe it’s time to quit since life only seems to keep getting busier and I keep getting bogged down with just too many things. But yet, I can’t bring myself to stop altogether because the thought that maybe some years down the road, these kids of mine won’t care that I posted these things a month or two late, but will only care that the memories have been saved here for them and they might share a good laugh over their small selves, our family as it was, and reminisce about their “good old days”.
So for that someday years from now, I keep pressing on.
With that said, here are this year’s first day favorites.
