First post ever!

This is my first post ever. I still don't really know what to post or why I'm doing this but hopefully someone will find it mildly entertaining. I asked my SIL what I should write about and she told me she always like my photo captions when I shared vacation slideshows but I don't know if I could justify an entire blog for that.

Instead I thought I'd focus my first post on my girls. Grace is 5 and Hanna is 7. Above are their school pictures, Grace is on top. I think both are beautiful and of course, super duper smartypants. Their are both really different even though they are mistaken for twins at times. I'm sure if you end up reading this blog on a regular basis you will learn more about them. I'm a little worried about Grace and her recent love of boys. She told us today that Hunter (boy in her class) loves her because she's pretty. I have to laugh because Hunter is a tiny, although cute, little boy in class who wears glasses and sports a fine mullet. Hanna meanwhile has no interest in boys other than friends. In fact I think sometimes she doesn't realise there is a difference between boys and girls.

The exciting news this week is the new computer. We moved out of the 80's and bought ourselves a new 17 inch iMac. It's so pretty and white. Our old lime green iMac is jealous but I tell it that the girls will still use it for games. The old Limey had served me well for almost 7 years but I literally had to plug my ears when it loaded a program because I couldn't stand the grinding sound it made. So good-bye Limey and hello Whitey. I also am now converted to Safari which is super fast compared to Netscape. I'm even getting used to the new way I use bookmarks.

That is about it for this post. Tomorrow I'm off to the therapist (that's another post) and then I'm going to suprise Ryan by putting the Christmas lights up myself. I'm hoping I don't fall off the ladder and die.
