On Why We Blog

from Ben's mom

Thanks to Brooks for referencing Ben's blog. We liked the picture he found. It brought up some of the reasons we keep this blog. It is very good for me to try and see the world through Ben's eyes. Not only does it make me a better parent, it makes me a more joyful person. It had been awhile since I really looked at a dandelion but seeing it through Ben's eyes made me amazed with childlike wonder at the world God has made for us. And yes, yes, it is a creative outlet and a chance to keep up the few writing skills that I still have left. (I'm amazed at how they've deteriorated since college.) But Ben and I enjoy this exercise and someday, he'll get a kick out of how prolific he was as a baby.

Thanks to our readers whose comments keep us going.

I don't know if I'm one of those readers "whose comments keep us going", but I certainly enjoy the posts.

Hear, hear, and three cheers from another avid fan! I check this blog daily and always enjoy reading it. Very endearing without being cutesy.
