Good, Better, Best

2010 has left my blog very neglected. It's just not right to see my last pictures up here be the pictures of this time of year...but from one year ago. I woke up this morning thinking how ironic...the year that I have an infant in the house is the year that I completely fail at documenting every inch grown and milestone met. The longer time went the more overwhelmed I became at the thought of "catching up". I thought about it...I wanted to...I just well I guess it came down to the "Good, Better, Best" deal. A perfect talk by Dallin H. Oaks "We should begin by recognizing the reality that just because something is good is not a sufficient reason for doing it. The number of good things we can do far exceeds the time available to accomplish them. Some things are better than good, and these are the things that should command priority attention in our lives."  I knew every month it would be a "good" thing to update my blog. I knew it would be a "better" thing to document my "growing" family history. But I knew the "best" way to spend those rare "spare" moments would be to rock and enjoy my little baby. So my blog was left unattended for the most part...with facebook it is so just too easy to upload pictures and walk off. So family you did get to see baby D growing,  just didn't get the "commentary". I do have a ton of pictures from 2010 that slowly I plan on updating my blog with the events of the past year...but I am pleased that I took advantage of the moments I could and rocked my little. Because those infant moments of the past year flew by in a flash! I know that is so cliche, but oh how true it is!! As I type right now, she is sitting squirming on my lap. Somehow it is easier to hold a toddler than a tiny "lump" while sitting at the computer. But I do enjoy keeping a blog and it is my hope that in 2011 I can steal a few moments here and there and keep it happening (with a squirmy toddler on my lap of course!) So there you have it...my confession, my excuse, my soap box spill...whatever you want to call it. But in a nutshell...life with 5 kids makes our house one happening place and I'm happy to be in the midst of the chaos. I'm also happy to report that this here Mom is finally about to get a "handle" on keeping up with 5 kids!

Till next time I'll leave you with Trace's latest kidism..."I'm going to be sad to see 2010 go...Me...why?..Trace...I have such good memories of it"!
