First Family Camping

The Rogers' favorites of the first ever camping trip with all 4 of us in a tent
(a 3 person tent I might add):

Dad: I love campfires, so not much can beat that. But also seeing the kids free to explore and having so much fun on their own with just the occasional prodding (daring) by Dad.

Mom: Watching the kids play and seeing them have fun just climbing on rocks was nice. I enjoyed the peacefulness!

Jamie: I liked to fish! Even though we didn't catch any. They didn't like the worm. I guess they were full. I also liked jumping on rocks and eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner outside!

Jordan: Um, playing with toys (his fishing pole) and...we slept the tent!

Virtual Therapy

A month dormant. A month of events in life that I have not put into words. There is something therapeutic about being forced to put our life into words that I think those of you who have blogs of your own will understand. Something that makes us sit down and think about our lives. Something that makes us articulate the little things or thoughts in life that so often pass by without a second thought. And it is something deeper than just journally because we must put it is something that we must explain well enough for others to understand. Something that makes us ask what those who may pass through our virtual lives may actually be interested in... whether parents, friends, random internet searches, or just our own selves looking back at our sporadic glances and deep thoughts in life.

Well, I'm back, and I hope somewhat consistently - although I make no promises. Those who were reading this have probably long left and gone so I somewhat feel I'm writing to myself. If you are out there please continue to check in regularly (or sign up for updates). And as you read something you like, don't like, disagree with, or that sparks a thought of your own, let me know your there!


Oh, and if you have any ideas for posts, let me know!
