Here We Go Again

I think one of the reasons I was posting so infrequently is I was thinking of posting for the world to see, when the original point of this blog was just for me to have a place to keep memories down and be able to ascribe some sort of timeline to them when I look back later through the fog of childhood.  I have recently found myself posting small things on Facebook, now for the reason that I really care to share them now, but I look forward to seeing those memories a year or two years later come back up via Timehop or on this day.  And with the amount of time I waste watching T.V. or on Sporcle, I can find 5 minutes every couple weeks to type out a quick post as to what is going on in my life, or more importantly in my children's life.  Because they are so big!  I have no babies anymore.  I realized that the other day when Liam started making sarcastic comments.  Little babies don't respond to you with "That was the plan" when you lay out what is ahead of them.  I find myself looking at his eyes or ears or nose and just see how perfect they are, but how he is no longer a little baby.

So in the past year, where do I start?  I think I'll have to just pretend as though 2014 didn't exist, though if I ever get caught up on grading, perhaps I'll add the Disney trip we were blessed to take again this past June.  Sarah is in kindergarten.  How did that happen?  That is like real school, though I am calling in Kindergarten Part 1 as we're not sure yet what we're doing next year.  And after spending the better part of the last half a decade with Lupita caring for our children, Liam has also moved on to Open Arms.  I remember making a comment to the director of the school that whenever Liam acted up, just remember that Sarah was also a Flynn, but apparently their behavior at school is very different than home, because Liam is apparently very well behaved, and Sarah, well, Sarah thinks that she is the fourth teacher in the class.  But when in twenty years I print this out (or whatever technology exists then), I do want to put on the public record that I'm also very proud of her for being a great helper and excellent reader (again, how did my baby start reading?)

T.J. comments that I always look for something to do instead of grading, so this may be my new outlet.  The holidays are coming up, my favorite time of year, so I'm sure there will be lots of photo opportunities.  And if it falls back to the wayside again, at least I have "On This Day" as my fail safe.
