All those after school movies were so right: peer pressure is real! After a couple of months of reading friends' blogs and being told that we need to stop procrastinating and just build one....here we are! I can't promise that this blog will be updated very often, but we'll try!!
The summer is going so fast. It's a blur, much like our life...not as bad as the old man with the goat, though. (The boys will get that one) Oliver will be 2 in September! I will be working part time from home starting on August 4th (Yippee!) And Alex will finally get benefits from his job on August 1st (it's like he's a real employee or something!)
I'm excited to stay home with Oliver and to have more time for the fun stuff in life: laundry, cleaning the house, bills, etc. But seriously, I will be so glad that I can focus on those things more so that I don't feel stressed all the time when I actually get to spend time with my family. Being a working mom is tough!!! Well, actually just being a mom is tough! I never thought that I would find any type of guilt that is more powerful than Catholic guilt....but Mommy guilt trumps them all!
But, having a child is the most wonderful, rewarding, stressful, painful thing that you can do (I know that there are some contradictions in there, but it's true)! I will try to put up some recent pictures of the family, so everyone can marvel at our handsomeness! (Is that a word? I think so...)
Love to all!

Yeah! I am so glad that you guys got on the bandwagon! Now we can see what you are up to! :)
It's about damn time. So excited you joined the blogging world. Don't forget to post about your liberal views so Keith can have someone to take out his frustrations on.
Welcome to the dark side. :) Now you have to keep up with it and update it. :)
Yes! I'm so glad you're blogging. And congrats on getting to be home more! Now we can play during the day. But I have bad news: mommy guilt is there (at least for me) no matter what. Sigh.
Hey will you send me your email address? I want to send you an invite to Jared's graduation party. I'm at kristyarobinson@gmail.com
