Yes, I have begun the madness! I decided to start a blog after six months of visiting the blogs of friends. I found (and still find) myself absorbed in the details of their daily life despite the fact that we might live thousands of miles away from each other (or simply a few miles). That, I found, is the beauty of blogging. I hope that you will feel more a part of my life, and a part of my family through this blog. I am going to post some recent photos of things that are going on…a sort of pictoral introduction to life as we know it in the moment. However, it is told as we experienced it. (I couldn’t resist…)

 

These are the two elfins that live in our house… they pretty much have their keepers at their beck and call. 

One day, the larger of the two elfins, the one with the strange smile, made some elfin eggs for his keepers to sample…the keepers were skeptical of the eggs, were elfin eggs really ok for eating? 

The tiniest elfin thought the elfin keepers were crazy! She laughed and scoffed, “Everyone knows elfin eggs make you funny, smart, and gorgeous…ha,ha,ha.” (Elfins sure are confident of what they think to be true…)

Meanwhile the friendly giant keeper approached the egg-making elfin. He smiled and appeared as if the eggs were not baffling…and then he did the strangest thing…he ran and hid all the eggs in the bushes…giants do sometimes have the strangest issues.

Meanwhile, the other giant approached the tiny elfin, believing in her confident spirit, and knowing she had eaten her fair share of elfin eggs already, snatched up that elfin and held her close, drawing close her humor, smarts, and beauty. Little elfin, you know it all…
