New Year....more blogging?

I've noticed a trend in all of my posts on this "blog", if you even want to call it that. After reading other peoples daily/weekly/even monthly blogs and thinking to myself "that will be a great thing for their children to read one day" or "I'm sure they'll be able to look back on their blog and relive some of their great memories", I figured I should TRY to get on the blogging-train again (not just for myself, but for my girls!)
Since I last blogged there have been SO many things that have happened in our little world. Matt came home safely from Afghanistan, we moved from Colorado to Virginia and bought our first home and also found out we are expecting a little one in just a few months (wow, it has been a longgggg time!). After reading through a few previous entries I posted, I remember writing that I couldn't wait until Matt would pull into our driveway and Carson would say "Daddy's home!!!". Thankfully, she does just that and I melt a little every time.
Speaking of our sweet Carson.... she is the sweetest little girl. I am amazed at how much she is talking now and how she can repeat almost anything you ask her to say. She loves people and will talk to almost anyone she meets. She's always on the go and doesn't like to sit down for very long. I have to say, after having ALL of my attention for the past two years, I'm wondering how life with be after our new little girl Kennedy comes into the picture. I hope Carson doesn't feel jealous or that she's somehow been "replaced" and that she will realize the special place in my heart she will always have. At this point in her little two year old world, she has started to say some funny little things. For example, she told me the other morning to "chill out, Mommy!". I don't know if she really even knows what she's saying, but it's so funny to hear that come out of her mouth. For some reason, she's also a picky eater and not a fan of meat, which is surprising to me. Her favorite thing to eat is mac and cheese (surprise!) and she requests it any time we go out to eat. She's great at using her manners even though we haven't mastered the "sir's" and "ma'am's" quite yet. She'll say "no, thank you" or just "thank you" all the time and I love to hear her say that. Hopefully I will be better at blogging this year and it will last more than a couple of days. I really would like to write down these precious moments in our lives so that one day when I'm an "empty nester" I can look back fondly at our little life and how these two, precious girls have grown. I have a feeling I will need to set some kind of alarm on my phone to remind me to do it, but I can hope, right?
Here's to a better year of blogging and capturing memories!
