dad's challenge to the family

O.K. so I get this e-mail from my dad this week that challenged each one in our family to share a family inspiration letter with everyone. He says it best.....

Dear family, I would like to, as a family, start a family inspiration letter. I hope you will all take a few minutes and add to the chain. It would also be wonderful to hear how and what you are doing, your accomplishments and the good you are doing in the world. We love you all and hope the best for you. One line is better than none to get started. Don't procrastinate! Be positive!

There is no better way to inspire an inspiration letter than with a challenge, thanks dad! I created this blog at the beginning of the New Year for my family hoping that I could jot down here and there funny things that happen throughout the week, silly things the kids say and some of their accomplishments a long the way.

I have found that with 4 kids it's hard to just remember it all. A lot of the milestones and funny things that they say and do are forgotten if you don't stop and write it all down. This is my new challenge for this year in 2009. To take time for the "little" stuff that matters most! To stop for a moment and just be, call a friend or family member that you miss, write a thank you note or just try often to remember who and what it is you love!
