One evening, Doug and I were treated to an evening at the "circus". Corley and Caleb had both worked hard putting together an exciting show - complete with tigers, penguins and their trainer, and disappearing magic tricks! Nate was a spectator with mom and dad, and proved to be the biggest cheerleader for his older siblings. We were wowed and amazed for the better part of half an hour. As the show ended, Corley wrapped things up with, "If you want to know more about the show and its creators, please visit us at http://www.pittmancircus.com/ where you can sign up for games and prizes and get a coupon for free haircuts". There was total silence as Doug and I digested how easily this tagline rolled off of her tongue...and then we all cracked up.
Later that evening, I thought of how our once quiet, structured, 2-banker (read: "square") life really had turned into that of a circus: constant motion, LOUD, busy and crazy. How very grateful we are for these wonderful changes....and how very aware we are that they will be gone so quickly (and we will probably go back to our quiet, structured, "square" life!). This is the reason for this blog - to attempt to record these precious memories of daily life with kiddos that will pass all too quickly. These are the fun times and moments that are so easily forgotten, but are so important to remember since they shape us each and every day.
This will be our attempt at keeping our family and friends involved in our "daily life" as we are all scattered across the map. Please forgive my learning curve with this blog; it - like life - is a work in progress! My perfectionist personality would like for me to not roll this out until it was perfect and I was an expert on blogging. The realistic side of me says, "there's no time like the present"; so we're just going to wing it and learn along the way...
As the "Ringmaster" said when she welcomed us to the circus, "Ladies and Jelly Beans, boys and squirrels....Welcome to the Pittman Circus!!!"
