The Anchor

Hello my name is Allison, and I have a horrible short term memory. 

 (Everyone together now, "Hi Allison!")  

I've started this blog, not because I wanted hundreds of followers hanging on my every word, but because I needed to be able to document my children's lives..for myself.  See, I suffer from the dreaded "pregnancy brain", even though I have not been pregnant for over a year and a half.  (Aren't you supposed to get that memory back after delivery?!) 

Seriously, it's bad.  At school I might tell a child in the hallway that they'll have to move their card when we get back to the room--and by the time we get back to the room, I've already forgotten who I told to turn a card and what they did!  (Maybe that's an illustration of grace to the fullest?) 

It is my hope that my writing these memories down, it will allow me to "anchor" these thoughts in my brain.  That, and I love to talk about my kids, so now I can babble away without the awkward, "oh, look at the time..." (just kidding, this NEVER happens--my kid stories are riveting.  :) 

Here is a picture of my adorable darlings, in a rare moment that they're not pushing or taking toys from each other.   (Granted, this WAS about 6 months ago, before Andrew discovered the wonderful world of sister's toys.)
