Welcome one and all to the family blog! I hope this will be a fun way for all of us to post our stories and memories. Eventually, remember, I want to make this into a book for posterity to enjoy or at least poke fun at for generations to come.
I've never done a blog before, but Summer seems to enjoy it! :)

Hi Jannie,
I hope I win cause I chose Charity...not me!
Mom
And what are you doing up this late?
What's she doing up this late? What about you, MOM! Unless of course, you posted at a different time!
Love the blog idea, Jannie. You'll see me here often!
How rude! Unfortunately, I would laugh... :)
Yeah, you would! Wickedly, too!!! I can hear it already...Wwaahhh HA HA HA, with a bend and a wave of your arm. So, does Andrew know about this yet?
So, how do you leave a post on this anyway, Janski? Did you want us to submit our stories here? I'm getting ready for Aaron. (Better a month late than never, right?)
Hmm...I don't know. I'll look into that because I DO want everyone to be able to post stories on here.
And Mom, I was up doing family business...what were YOU doing up that late?!
well, good morning everyone! I'm going to think of stories ... soon. this is going to be a fun blog site. Just so you know, I'm up late all the time (nothing's changed). But I wish I wasn't. But I'm working!!!!! Kind of. And Charity, you are winning so far:) Look at you be the winner!
What's this? I am winning? My big boy found this web site and decided to make me win the laugh at you thing. But we all know how much I love to win. This could be fun.
Tara
