The first week of 2010

Its January 8th the first week of the New year has come and gone. I've seen numerous ideas about photos and blogging for 2010. Some are taking photos everyday morning I read again today some are doing a weekly page of pics. I was going to do daily images but I feel so overwhelmed just thinking about it. What if I forget to take my camera out of the case everyday or I don't download or edit them in time?? Doesn't it seem like pressure? I'm not buying into it. No No I'm not joining a support group. Phhff! I will take more pics this year. This I know for sure. I will be better at posting. I'm also going to write a daily journal or log of our families activities. Our Life's journey together. Yes, that is what I think is important. Those I love experiencing the best life has to offer and I will be cheering them on! taking a photo here and there and writing down what I see. So there you have it. My 2010 blogging in a nut shell.

I'm off to stir the soup.

Our Family Mission Statement

We recognize and respect that we have come from different backgrounds and upbringings
But that we are now united as one, with common goals and visions. We share an eternal bond That enables us to communicate honestly and openly in all issues. We are each other's greatest strength, comfort and encouragement.
Together we have a home of Love, harmony, cleanliness and learning, One to which we want to come back to each day and where family, friends and neighbors
Can come and feel comfort and peace; our doors are always open. The way we live our lives invites the spirit to dwell here. We turn our back to all influences that would cause the spirit to leave our minds, our Hearts and our home. We seek goodness in all situations and people, constantly keeping our eyes and hearts open to others in need, most specifically our extended families, which we hold dear.
We wish to instill in our children Unconditional love, respect, happiness and integrity And understand that we must first embody these qualities ourselves. Our ultimate goal is to return to our Heavenly Father together -- a complete family -- And we strive to instill in each this sense of unity. We strengthen and encourage each other so that each person has the capacity to gain a sense of self and individual worth from within themselves, independent of all outside influences.
As a family, We eat together, pray together, study and ponder the scriptures and gospel together, attend church together and laugh together.
We know when to work, when to play and when to relax. Most of all, we know each other. We know how to make each other smile and laugh And we are constantly seeking opportunities to do so. Our greatest legacy will be that we loved each other well.
