A Thousand Times Over

|
Three years and five months ago, I started this blog to capture the moments, both expected and unexpected, as Robyn and I entered parenthood. The main objective was to create a digital scrapbook that would capture our growth as parents and as a family. Farthest from imagination was how integral the blog would become in my day-to-day interactions with my kids.

Since it's inception, the blog has become an obsession. Photography has become an integral part of the blog; and I find myself taking photos that are chasing stories; rather than just freezing moments in time - the images over the last few years have been determined by the blog. Can I tell a story with this photo? What will I write about this photo? Will the photo visual capture what I am experiencing?

Needless to say, Crayons & Keyboards has become more than just a blog to me. It, in essence, has become a dynamic part of my life.

Blog entry #1,000 is more than a milestone. It is a reflection on what my family means to me. Without Robyn, I am nothing. Without Jaxson, I am nothing. Without Annabelle, I am nothing. Without our extended families, we are nothing.

Families are precious. So thank you all for allowing me to document our lives together and record moments that are forever deposited in our memory banks.

Love you all, and I hope their are thousands more ahead for all of us.

Cheers.
