Letting go

Ever since having kids and returning to work, I have been advised over and over again that the key to surviving is to learn to let go.  For those of you that know me well, you know that this is not an easy task for me.

I am over 18 months behind on the blog. Coincidentally, this timeframe gap matches that of the timeframe when work just got unbelievably busy.  I have made many attempts to try and accurately depict this gap.  Unfortunately, none were successful in completely closing the gap.  My last hurrah was prior to Becca's birth. I made some jumps, but it just didn't happen. 

I have been struggling for a while with this issue.  You see, for me, this blog is my children's baby books.  Don't get me wrong, I have a formal baby book for each of them.  It gets pulled out every year or so and a few more items are jotted down.  And there is a shoebox full of pictures and items to be added to it, eventually.  But this blog is where I have detailed our lives, with pictures and details.  So for me to just omit a period of  time, is really really hard.

However, I see things happening every day that I want to document and remember.  Since I have already learned that 'catching up' is almost impossible, that means leave a gap or don't blog at all with Becca.

I  am trying to focus on the big picture here.  I plan to print the blog into a book for the kids. Kinda like the day to day baby book.  Therefore, the middle of May 2012 through August 2013, sorry, but you are being omitted.  Stay tuned for lots of new pics of both Jesse and Becca. Guess that means I need to rename the blog too, as there are now four instead of three...
