The Rich Family

Not sure how the time line of a blog is supposed to go, so thought I should introduce the complete Rich family. John and I have been married for forever, ok not forever but a heck of a long time. We were "mature" when we started this adventure and swam along for 7 years before even inviting any little people to join in. Ava (7) is our first victim of parenthood, pretty good kid I must say, very calm and easy to please (thank goodness). She has also taught us quite a bit. With the arrival of Miss Lila (5WS) we were spun off into a whole other dimension. We tried to stay calm in the beginning of the WS minefield, but now we give ourselves permission to freak out. Thankfully we have not have to freak all that often since both children are pretty healthy. So in a nutshell, family of 4, one dog (Belgian Sheepdog, wait until you hear this story) and 3 fish, previously 4 fish but one evidently had the need to go to the open sea via toliet. If you have any blogging suggestions please send them, it took me forever to figure how to move my Adobe photos into a file to be uploaded. I really want to learn the tricks that Anna uses for the cool singing photoslide shows. Cool hats Anna, love them! All for now. Rock on.

Nice to meet you! It is great to hear about your family. My son Brady (2-1/2) has WS, Michael is 9-1/2. We're in New England. It was nice to read your comment on my blog - I am always amazed at what Brady can do!

I have been figuring things out with Blogger as I go along~ it's a little quirky sometimes, but without it I would not have met all these fantastic people!

Hope to hear more about Lila and your family!

Thank you for sharing your story with us out here in the blogging world.
Love the picture of your family! It is always nice to put a face with a name.
Check out OneTrueMedia on the web, you just load your pictures and add music it does the rest for you. That is the one Anna uses, I like it alot too.

Great blog! Thanks for sharing it with the list. I love blogging but find it difficult to find time to update mine as often as I would like, or post messages to others'. I do have a suggestion. Go to statcounter.com and add a counter to your blog-it's really fun to see just how many people view it. It's not hard to do-it walks you through the steps.

Best wishes!!

Welcome to the blogging world, Tes! Your girls are lovely!!

Blog for yourself and when you can. That's my motto. I also don't get stressed out about leaving others comments all the time (so mine may be few and far between!). But I am always reading!!
