Saturday parade

On Saturday we went to the Byron Days parade. If you've seen one small town parade you've seen them all. Yet we seem to never get sick of racing in the street for flying candy, cheesy clown bands, miniature dogs in costume, the clip-clop of horses hooves carrying veterans, (and the plop-plop of you-know-what hitting the pavement right in front of your carefully selected spot), and what seems like one too many shiny red fire engines sounding those wonderfully awful horns one too many times. WE LOVE IT!!

Ok, here it is. My blog has begun. Can't believe I'm saying that. I said I'd never do it. Just goes to show I'm easily swayed. No really, I'm just so inspired by all the incredible blogs I faithfully spy on. My goal for this blog is to update those I love with pictures, a peek into our family life, and maybe an occassional something deep from my busy mom brain, if I don't forget it first. Stay tuned. Something may surface soon.
