6 months

looks like she is going to grow up after all...

i started this blog for three reasons

1. to share with family and friends who are far

2. to have something for us and claire to look back on

3. it's somewhat like a baby/memory book i can't lose (with the added bonus of one less thing to grab if the house burns down)

so i'm starting now with my baby girl rapidly approaching 6 months!!!

i was told, by many, this time would go by quickly...

                                                                                          

turns out quickly was an understatement

i'm learning to take in

every

single

moment

of this new life God has blessed us with...

month five for claire included her first taste of rice cereal

a bowl full of mush

she also gave me an excuse to buy lots of candy and dress her up like a bunny,

as we celebrated her very 1st easter!

and nothing has been more exciting for her than the jumperoo!
(i admit, i was excited too... perhaps a little more than necessary)

Blog One

hi, i'm chelsea and this is my blog.
the first thing I would like to share is that i am not a fan of the word blog
or any word related to it for that matter...
blogger, blogging, you get the point.
however, for the sake of keeping an unofficial record on life,
i'll put aside my indifference towards the blogosphere (yep, that one too)
and for now, embrace it.
moving on.

the title of my blog is stolen from this guy and specifically from this song.
sorry, i'm just not that creative.
for me this song represents the cliche of life being filled with ups and downs
but at the end of the day there is love
and we live for what we love.
it's who we love that makes all the other crap in life worth it.

how my dreams they spin me 'round

and how my dreams they let me down

and how my thoughts they spin me 'round

and how my thoughts they let me down"

and then there's you

then there's you...

this blog is about the you in my life.
my daughter,
my husband,
my family,
and and above all, Christ

they are the reasons this journey is worth it all.
