An important 4th

Last night was our first 4th of July with our Green Cards in hand. So it was an important one. We had our closest friends over, had a nice meal and lit off some fireworks in the front cul de sac.

L was, of course, loving every second of it. Running around with his friends, swimming and loving the fireworks. E ended up with industrial ear phones on to block the noise. She fell asleep with her fingers in her ears. Not crazy about the noise! But she woke up this morning talking about how pretty the fireworks were. She said "It made a noise like this..." then she screamed and yelled "BOOM!".

Lynette gave me a mini album with messages from all of our friends to celebrate our Green Cards. Very pretty, creative and thoughtful.

A blog, cool.

I have decided I need to start keeping a blog. I am on the computer enough as it is that I thought this would be a great way to document life.

Many times, I wish I could remember the "every day" of life, the things that over time just seem to fade away. The cute things the kids say, the funny things that happen. I have tried paper notebooks since I am such a paper fiend. But it never seems to work. My love for the net will probably make this a whole lot easier.

I decided to name my blog "Creative Jule". My blog will probably contain a lot of entries about creative stuff. One of the main motivators for keeping my blog is being able to look back and use some entries in my scrapbooks. So there will probably be a lot of everyday stuff, mixed in with creative stuff that I don't want to forget.

So....welcome to my blog!
