Blogging

I attempted to blog before, but wasn't very good at keeping up with it. I tried to log in and start all over with our existing account, but couldn't remember my password...so now I'm starting all over again. Let's hope this one works out for everyone.

I think this blog will be basicly about our the fabulous 4 Philpott's - Jeromy, Emily, Dylan and Ethan. But I also think it might just be some thoughts I have about life in general, and pretty much anything else I feel like writing about. I will also try to download photo's as much as possible, but I canNOT figure that out yet. If anyone can walk me thru that, I would appreciate it.

Dylan is 6 years old now...can you believe it? When he was born everyone told me to hold on to the baby years as much as I can because it goes so fast. We've all heard that haven't we? It goes so fast...enjoy it while you can....before you know it they are in college.....but am I the only one that thought the baby years were the longest ever? I never thought he would turn 1, at least during the first year I never thought that. It just dragged on and on. While I loved being a mommy, and I obviously love Dylan more then anything, I couldn't wait til he could talk. I wasn't trying to "rush" it really, at least that's what I told myself at the time. Maybe I was...I'm not sure. What it comes down to now is that I have a 6 year old kindergartener with an attitude the size of the pacific ocean, but with the same amount of love and adoration for his family. He loves that mommy can volunteer at his school and that I'm a room mother. He's not embarrassed by me yet!! He loves that I'm home when he gets off the bus and we can chat about his day. He loves his little brother because he always has someone to play with. They fight of course, but they are also as Ethan says "best buddies." Yes, now my oldest son is 6 years old, and will be 7 soon enough. But for now, I am going to take it one day at a time, to hold on to these years as much as I can, to enjoy it because before I know it he will be going to college and I am definitely not ready for that.
