Meet the Family...

For those that don't already know us here's a rundown on what each of us is all about:

Elizabeth - I'm the mom, 30 years old (really), I was a high school and middle school band director for seven years before taking time off after Jenna was born to stay at home with my two beautiful urchins, I'm currently working on my masters in instructional technology and will return to work one of these days, I love to shop (even though I can't afford it so I've become the coupon/sales queen), I love to eat (even though I can't afford to do that either, baby weight is supposed to just fall off right?), and I love to relax and spend time with my family as often as I can.


Jon - He's the dad, 31 years old, recently took at job at Fellowship UMC as the technical director and LOVES IT, can build and repair just about anything, has a mildly unhealthy jacket addiction, won't eat anything green (or orange, or remotely vegetable-like, or raw, or "weird" in any way, he's my meat and cheese man!), LOVES his new job, is the honorary make-the-kids-laugh and wrestle-on-the-floor parent, misses being close to his family, is a phenomenal singer and musician (guitar, piano, and trumpet to name a few), and did I mention he LOVES his new job?


Ryan - our little man, just a few months shy of his fourth birthday, loves his little sister (he's working on the sharing part), is obsessed with Thomas the Train, a big fan of Cars, really enjoys preschool at Fellowship (he's building a rep as the class flirt!), gets excited about going to the library, his fave snack is "berries" (code for gummi snacks) and his fave foods are shrimp and chicken, gets his singing voice and his craziness from his father, gets his stubbornness and smartypantsness from his mother, and is growing up way too fast.





Jenna - our little princess, just turned a year old two days after Christmas, has the longest eyelashes EVER, has taken a few steps unassisted just this week (she'll be running circles around us before we know it), loves Ryan and chases him around and wants to do whatever he's doing, absolutely adores animals of all kinds, puts everything in her mouth, doesn't have a single tooth to decorate her gorgeous smile, wishes she could eat more table food, doesn't like to drink juice (crazy, right?) and laughs ALL the time.

We're here!

The Shepherd family has arrived!  I have been toying with the idea of starting a family blog ever since my sister-in-law began The V Files for her family and I finally decided that I've procrastinated long enough!  After completing a blog as part of my master's degree I came to the realization that it's too easy and plus my mom would really appreciate more frequent updates and pictures (of the grandkids of course!) now that we've moved over an hour away from her.  I'm notoriously bad about updating things but my new year's resolution is to keep this up and running on a regular basis.  There's certainly no shortage of interesting things going on around here to post about so stay tuned!
