Meet the Clarks
This is my family. Well, most of my family, anyways. There's me, on the left, Greyson Neill on my lap (8 weeks old), my husband Shannon behind me, and Nicholas John ("Nick", age 10) next to me. We are missing a daughter, Brooklyn Rose (age 4) - she lives with her mom 3 hours south of us, so she wasn't able to be here this past weekend when this picture was taken. Don't worry - you'll meet her soon. I'm starting this blog in the hopes that I can keep family and friends updated with the goings-on in our hectic lives - hence the name "Doing Life Hummingbird Style."
I have a friend who once nicknamed me "Hummingbird" because I have this inability to slow down. Well, maybe not inability per say, but perhaps the desire to do so many different things that they all start to run into one another until I can't figure out where my days have gone. It seems I never stop moving - being a wife and mom who also works full-time outside the home, brand new baby, play dates, soccer practices and games, grocery shopping, church and Bible study, volunteering at school, social life (Ha!)... our family just never stops moving. My husband is always pushing to slow down - you know, after 33 years of this pace, it's hard to just decide one day to slow down. However, in an effort to keep you all "in the know" about our busy lives, here I am. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this up regularly... I've never been able to stay on top of this kind of thing, but if I can be disciplined about this, maybe one day I'll learn how to structure other parts of my life as well.
So for now, let me welcome you to "Doing Life Hummingbird Style"... I hope you enjoy keeping up to date with my little family and our busy lives.
