first post!

   so, i have had a few people tell me that i should start a blog.  as you can see, after some thought...i decided to go for it.  i figure this is a good way for my non facebook family and friends to keep up with all of the new and exciting things with our family.  i am very excited about this new connection with what i call "the real world".  as most of you know, i dont get out of the baby/toddler world very often!  please excuse the simplicity of my blog/posts.  i will mostly be posting from my phone, so you wont see much fancy shmancy stuff coming from me!  but, i hope you all will be somewhat interested in what i have to say.

    i am sure everyone completely understands the title of my blog!  i certainly am a one woman circus.  i am juggling a 2 1/2 year old daughter and 2...yes 2 three month olds!  we have good days and bad days, but so far the good days have made all of the bad days totally worth it.  =)  this is not exactly how i had expected my life to turn out, but i absolutely love every day with my family and i wouldnt change a thing!  i am so thankful for an amazing husband and these three precious gifts.

    So, i figure i will start my blog off the right way.  in true christa fashion...things i love today:  the way loralye is so talkative with everyone she meets, the way veda's hair grows out instead of down, august's wild burst of leg energy in the bath tub, strawberry pretzel salad (if you havent had it, google the recipe and make it!), the way veda drags my old maternity shirt all over the house while she sucks her thumb, how handsome shane looks in collared shirts, the lack of laundry strewn all over the house and "the happiest toddler on the block" book! =)
