Welcome to our blog. This is a test run to see how it is going to look when it is all up and running. Today is a beautiful day outside. It is partly cloudy and warm, with a light breeze keeping things fresh. All the trees are in bloom, including our dogwood tree. I am really going to miss the dogwood when we move to Florida. Whitney and Jackson have been playing together outside all afternoon–jumping on the trampoline, digging in the sandbox, raking leaves and acorns, and yelling at the neighbor’s barking dog. Matt is snoring contentedly from our room, where he is taking a much-needed afternoon nap. I am very excited to get this blog/website up and running. It is the second big step toward transitioning from FamilyLife to Bright Media. Okay, time to see how this is looking!
