Super Bowl Sunday '10

We had some really great family time on Super Bowl Sunday this year. I made some queso dip with leftover homemade chili we had earlier in the week. It was yummy! Then we went to the book store to buy Ryan some more books for bedtime. Ryan was a very good boy at the store. We cuddled with Sean most of the day. He is a very happy baby. Pat and I had some quality talking time which we really needed. And lastly we watched the Super Bowl. Our team wasn't in it, so I didn't really care too much about it.

Sean wore his Patriots gear for the game. I know the Patriots weren't in the Super Bowl, but he still has New England pride.

Ryan says the queso dip was good...well at least the parts that made it into his mouth and not on his face.
Happy and messy little boy.

Why Blog?

I bet it is clear that I do not blog to get followers, huh?

Part of the reason to blog is to keep family and friends updated on the kids through stories and pictures. But that isn't all. It would be a rather boring blog to many others if that is all there was.

I do NOT believe that a blog is only good for a deployment.

I blog to share a bit of myself with you that I probably wouldn't say otherwise. I am more of a writer than a talker. I am an introvert in person. However, I will sometimes write more about myself than I would tell you if we were talking face to face. In some ways it feels good to open up even if it is through the faceless blog world. I use the blog as a release. My blog is a "good friend" that I can come to and tell how bad or good a day was. My blog can remind me that I need to be a better person through the idea that people are watching/listen. It is true that my blog does not usually talk back to me, but by me writing on it I find clarity. And lastly, no matter how trivial what I have to say is, I know my blog is always listening.

Some of what I write or post may bore you. Not to be harsh, but I don't care. I do this blog as much for me as I do to share my life with all of you. I hope that you enjoy reading it, but the most important thing is that I enjoy writing it.

Why do you blog? What is your blog to you?

Photo Shoot

These were taken yesterday, and I couldn't resist sharing them. I had taken out my camera to take some photos of Sean, but Ryan immediately wanted to join in the "cheese". He quickly sat next to Sean, and I began snapping photos. They are two sweeties and really seem to like each other. I am a lucky mother.
