8 Years Ago

I was trying to come up with something to write about today.  It seems like most of my posts have been a catch up for the weeks prior.  I am trying to get back to writing about nothing as opposed throwing some picuture on a page as a "look what we did!"
 
Sure, the pictures are great for my overall goal of this blog....a place the kids can go to when they are older and see their lives/our lives from my perspective.
 
In an effort to write more, I was looking for some inspiration.  I typed today's date into the search bar of my old blog Life From the Fort. 
 
Here's what I found!
 
First of all, I just have to say that the kids now start school a full week earlier. 

Eight years ago, Grace was beginning her first day of first grade.  That would have made Alex 2 and Eva 5 months old! 

We’ve come a long way in those 8 years. 

Coming across this jewel of a post makes me want to go back and read that old blog.

Maybe it’s time to bring back SnapShot Saturday?  Or get with the new trend of Throwback Thursday?  Maybe something different all together?

Who knows!  My only hope is to contribute more nonsense and everyday moments.  And maybe not focus on Grace quite so much, because…jeez…that girl has been all over this blog as of late! 

Check out this comparision, though!  Then I’ll give one of the other kids the limelight for a day or two!  J
