I'm struggling a little with the whole blogging thing. Lately I have felt too guilt to waste my time blogging, and then late at night I start feeling really guilty for not blogging. My blog is my form of journaling as is with many of you. I do it for me and my family more than anything else, and sometimes it is hard to justify spending the time on myself. I'm grateful to have such a great husband who understands that women need some time for themselves and encourages me to take up hobbies that allow me do things I like even when it takes me away from the home more. In fact this same great husband gave me the greatest Christmas present this year. We were very limited in the amount we spent on each other, but he bought me goggles, a jersey bag (to carry wet swim suit and towel), water bottle etc. His whole purpose in purchasing these seeminly odd gifts was that he knows how much I love to lap swim and he knows that I don't do it. He wrote me a letter explaining that his gift was to watch Chase on some evenings so I could have some time to enjoy something that I love to do. I cried. And to think I only got him a silly watch that had to be returned because it didn't fit anyways. I suck at this Christmas stuff.
These pictures are several weeks old, but they are cute anyways, so here they are. We spent a day out playing in the snow with Chase. He is so funny with the snow. He loves to play outside no matter the weather or temperature, but doesn't even seem to notice the snow is even there. He will just walk back and forth on the sidewalks as if there isn't snow covered grass all over.
Here's the goofy snowman we built. A could days later we noticed that someone added better facial features and a scarf that we didn't want to spare.
I can't help but love this picture. Check out those buck teeth! Love em.
He never did quite catch on the whole snowman thing, maybe we should have built it a little smaller so he could get the idea.
And sledding.... Chase didn't seem to really mind, or enjoy the sledding. Just kinda sat there patiently until they got to the bottom of the hill so he could get up and walk around.

Those pictures are so cute. you do have a great husband and you do deserve to take that time for yourself. you need it so try not to feel guilty doing it. no matter how hard it may be. Just do it!
That boy is so cute, I love those buch teeth. I totally get what you mean about the blogging guilt. I hate that it takes so much time, I usually end up choosing between sleep and blogging because I don't like it to take me away from Kenny or Aiden. It's worth it though, I love to look back every so often and see what we've been up to!
I can read your new font and I'm a gramma. By the way, does that fact that I have large font on my blog mean that I'm old? Cute pictures. That baby Chase is changing into a little boy.
