Introductions

There are five of us in the house, and despite heavy campaigning by the two eldest children, we are neither having a baby nor getting a dog in the near future.

"Mermaid Princess" is 4 and a half
"The Flash" is 3 and almost a half
"JackJack" is 1 and a half
"Big E" is 33 - oops, no, he's 34 now.
And I am 29, for the 7th time.

Photos to come, but if I wait to have all my photos together to post this first blog, who knows when it will happen? In fact, I'm proud of myself for going ahead and posting without the full blog treatment. I've been trying to live by my new motto - one given to me as pep-talk for perfectionists...

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing poorly -- as long as it gets done."

Not a statement anyone will read in a 'success book', but it has been a blessing to me (and my family) as I start to put it into effect. It's hard for me to leave something at 80 or 90% of what I know it could be... but since that last 10% often seems to take as much time as the original 90%, I'm learning to let it go in favor of delighting in the relationships around me. Pray for me!
