Inaugural Post!

If you know me, you know that I hate to bend to peer pressure to do the cool new thing. It seems like I hold out as long as I can until I just can't hold out any longer. Take scrapbooking, for example. I worked at Provo Craft for about a year...surrounded by the best in scrapbooking supplies. Some of the best scrapbookers anywhere. I even got free samples. BUT, it was definitely the cool thing to do so I decided I would not scrapbook. Well, I finally broke, started scrapbooking, and, of course, fell in love with it.
Same, here, with the Blog. You know what changed my mind? The second child syndrome. By the time Evan was 7 weeks old, like Maren is now, we had about 500 pictures of him. As for poor Maren, we might have a dozen. The last one taken of her was on January 30th. Seriously sad state of affairs. I figured that if I had somewhere where people might go looking for updated pictures of my oh-so-cute children (I know I check my friends' blogs at least once a day...just to see any cute pictures, hear what people are doing that is fun around town, etc.), then I would have to start taking more pictures and Maren's life will, too, get documented. So, here it is. Being that it is midnight now, I have not taken any pictures yet, and Maren will be getting up to eat in a couple short hours, I'm going to bed. Look for more cool Bybee pictures and news to come!

Yea!! You'll love your blog. I find myself making sure I bring my camera with me to make sure I get good pictures for the blog! I know what you mean by the second kid syndrome...the third is even worse! Poor Joshua!

Oh, I hope to someday know what all that is like (the children, not so much the blog). Thanks for just being a parent, a truly enviable calling.

I don't know how you have the time to blog! I barely have time to send emails :-) We try to take pics of Ryan, but you are right, SO different with the second child. Thank heavens for digital cameras, makes it a bit easier. Keep it up and I look forward to seeing pics of Maren. Even though we live 3 BLOCKS away, I still never see her! Hugs, michelle
