A New Mission

I've battled back and forth with myself for quite some time now over blogging. I used to keep an online journal, back when Opendiary and Livejournal were in their prime. Both have withered away, or at least they have in my mind. I haven't written on either in a decade, it feels like. That might not be much of an exaggeration.

Now, it comes to me as being not just useful, but necessary. Documenting the day-to-day activities of my family is, to me, essential. I want to be able to look back on our completely average lives -- just pick some random day to look back on -- and see each of the days of our history as being as beautiful, meaningful, and utterly special that they truly are. And more importantly, I want my children to be able to look back on these days, too. Through this text, through these photos, they can see who they were, who their siblings were, who their mother and father were, and how all of these things, these people, these events shaped them into what they will become.

I invite you all on our journey, in "all our days."

Welcome.
