It's the end of January, and one of my goals this year was to figure out this blogging! Never mind that I started a page a couple of years ago and haven't done anything. I hope this will be the beginning of a new way for me to do some fun family history and reach some important goals, (which includes being a better writer). My sister Jennifer, my sister-in-law Lara Updike, and my mother-in-law Chris are really good writers. So is my husband and my daughter Amanda. My kids are all pretty good writers and artists--even my 6-year-old is amazing.
