Starting....

Well, I wanted to start this blogging thing on the first day of the year, but my lack of "technical knowledge" slowed me down on setting up a blog....blah!

Oh well, I used my insomnia to my advantage and finally figured it out :)

I haven't really decided what I want to accomplish here....if you know me at all you know that being "open" or "transparent" isn't my gift, so I doubt I will reveal anything mysterious or deep here....but it is a step in the right direction of climbing out of the hermit hole I dug for myself this past year.....just trying to join the "living" again :)

One thing I do want to do is post a pic a day

Jan 1, 2014.....The first pic of the year....taken after midnight, standing outside, watching fireworks, FREEZING!!! :)

It's been a rough year for all of us, but hopefully these smiles have some sincerity in them and my constant prayer is for my children to always feel loved, safe, and secure.

Jan 2, 2014....We spent some of the day yesterday outside....despite the cold, we improved our  record from 3 consecutive hits to 6....yay us!

Jan 3, 2014.....My eldest and beautiful daughter, Abigail Marie Mlekodaj :)

Jan 4, 2014.....I had to post 2 pics today...too much going on :)
We had one of our classic "Family Game Days"....lots of food, fun and laughs.  Pearl did great and as usual, was the life of the party.  These parties arent' usually open to outsiders, sorry!

And of course couldn't leave out Peter's first basketball game of the season....they won, 23-16 and Peter was an offensive machine!  Go TarHeels!!

Ok, at least I got this blog started....we'll see what happens from here :)
