Day 2: Drive and Eat

June 9, 2013

We went today to pick up Cullen from Grammy's in Wharton. It was a rather unique day because we only had one child yet we were still late for Church. Pastor Phil was teaching our class today because we are in between class teachers. I really enjoyed hearing from our head pastor and him taking the time to want to teach to our small numbers.

I forget to mention that there was a breakfast fundraiser for our churches Honduras Mission Trip that is going on this summer.

After church we headed straight out (in the pouring rain) to Wharton to go pick up Cullen. Grammy had bought him more Iron Men, too which he referred to as "his guys."

When we left Whataburger we started our way back to town but were getting there pretty close to when we needed to leave for Will's Birthday Party. The party was located at the Children's Museum. It was supposed to start at 4:00 PM. We left at 4:00 PM. We got there around 4:30 and were instantly ushered into the party down stairs. Cullen refused to sleep when he got home because he was so excited so by the time he was at the party he was eating cake and trying to stay awake. Poor Buddy!

Day 1: Working Hard!

June 8, 2013

So I spend the greater part of Saturday outside. I worked on our awning outside that needed to be primed and painted. It was easy to work on on it because Corrie could work with the Addie since Cullen was still at Grammy's. I pulled out the ipod and speakers from Cullen's room and went to town outside. I actually like doing hard work like that because of the sense of accomplishment that comes with it.

Corrie came out and joined me with Addie about 3:00 PM or so after the afternoon nap. They enjoyed time together swimming and playing in the float.

Summer of 2013 - Introductory Blog Post

Seriously.... don't the Portier's have like 5 or 6 blogs over the course of their time on the internet. Well, yeah! 

This blog is a little different. Corrie and I have been blessed with a unique life. Our life is not set up where one person works and the other raises the kids, we both work and both raise the children. We are lucky that unlike other people who have both parents working, we get a 10 week vacation each year.

 I have always been a fan of making sure that our kids lives are well documented through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and their own personal email. I don't believe that you can over-document their lives. Quite simply, I want to make sure that we remember each and every memory. You never know what memory will trigger that sense of the importance of family.

What are you going to do with this blog?

Well Corrie and I are going to attempt to document every single day this summer what we do. We understand that some days are going to be bland and boring, but there are some days that are going pretty awesome. We want to document both.

Who is this for?

Primarily for Corrie and I have the memory, but then secondary to have to hand over to Cullen and Addie down the road.
