just like my mom did...

Ok, SEVERAL people have asked me how do I do this? How do I find the time to keep up this blog. Well, the easiest answer is that I multi task. I really do believe that my previous full time job prepared me for this life as a "quad mom". As a dispatcher you have to be able to MANY things at once. I also do most of the entries when they are napping. So this is the "How" but now for the "Why". I had the most wonderful mother that kept up a "baby book" for me, her 4th child. I must say that she did this for all 4 of us. When I say kept up I REALLY mean it. This baby book was unlike any other out there. It is called "All my Life". It starts at my birth & continues through out my life. Each of us kids had one & my stay at home mom kept it up till we could take over. So I have entries from my mom till I was about 15. EVERY program from church, choir is in there. ANYTHING & EVERYTHING that pertained to me she made sure was in my baby book. I LOVED this baby book so much that way before I ever was married I wanted to secure a few of them for my future family. Low & behold the baby book company CR Gibson that made them discontinued this great book. I was lucky to find 2 baby books so I bought them. SO I put them aside with the Christmas stockings I had my grandmother knit for these children I did not have. I ALWAY'S wanted 4 kids so I had her make 4 stockings. It is SO wild how things worked out like they did. I finally met Michael & we married when I was 32. Then we do not think we could any have babies. After beating the odd's God gave me these 4 miracles & I now have a stocking for each one. Now back to the baby books. Since I now have 4 babies I would need 2 more baby books to be complete. I could not find 2 more so what was I to do. I searched everywhere but could not find 2 more. SO I needed to figure something out PLUS keeping up 4 baby books all at the same time would be SO hard so I decided to start a blog. This would be their "baby book". This way I write about things they each do & they can read about all of it when they get older. I just hope that I can keep up their baby book ...
