Finally!

I wish I could say that the gentle teasing from my family and friends about my very behind blog finally motivated me to get started again, but I actually have to give my bishop the credit. He called several families in the ward on three month missions, and we were called on the family history mission. We were asked to attend the temple every week for three months and also work on our family histories. The first thing that came to my mind was my blog. Yes, that is a non-traditional family history, but that is the reason I started my blog in the first place. I thought it was a perfect way to record the events in my family's lives. Unfortunately, I had good intentions but never made the time. I am hoping that my "mission" will get me going again. It will also help that we are not watching very much television any more, not that I ever really did in the first place....what mom has time? But let me explain. One of the other missions that our bishop asked several families to participate in is to not watch any television for three months. Since Averi can't do very much with our family history mission, she asked if we could incorporate the media mission into our home. Isn't that an amazing thing for a nine year old girl to ask? I am so proud of her. It has really helped us spend more quality time together as a family, and hopefully it will help me find more time to record my family's history.
