Nearly Three Years Ago..

Three years ago tomorrow, Travis and I went to the hospital knowing we would be coming home with a beautiful little boy to add to our family!  Fast forward nearly three years and we have Rykin Robert-Max Kraus.  He is beautiful, but he is also lively, funny, wild, charasmatic, and loveable beyond words!  So since our little guys birthday falls on Black Friday this year (and I intend to not leave the house), I took the day off so we could do something fun!  Rykin chose to go the zoo and park!  It was  perfect day for it too!  70 degrees in November!!  Say WHAT???  Yep, and we took full advantage!  Here are some pictures below!  We had a great day celebrating the best little three year old man there is :)

LETS GET STARTED!!

Well, here we go!  After, many years of talking about doing this I finally AM doing it!  I am excited too!  I've wanted to write a blog for quite some time, to chronicle the family Travis and I began nearly seven years ago.  Though, at that time I was a mere 22 years old, and now I am pushing 30 :/  YIKES!!!  Anyway, so now many of my interests in blogging have changed.  I do still intend to blog about our family, the kids, etc.  However, I also plan to write about topics I have any opinion on or headline news topics from time to time, fitness, TV, and maybe many other topics. 

Obviously, I Facebook and I love Facebook, but the truth is there are to many people that use Facebook as a platform to show-case hot topics, controversies, pictures, families and more.  I have been guilty of this a time to two also (especially with talking about the kiddos).  Frankly, some people on Facebook like to be able to keep up with people for different reasons and keep some outlying networks going, but they don't want all the other detail.  I understand that, so most of the time I try to keep that in consideration and not over do it on any details.  I can't say, I will do that here.  The bottom line is if you want to follow the blog, I hope you do and I hope you enjoy it.  If not, that is ok to ;)  I'm going to try to have fun with this and keep it light hearted.  After tonight I plan to officially start. My, plan is to cover at least 3-4 blogs per week.  I hope you enjoy!
