Muddy Waters

When we were pregnant with our little guy, we listed every name possible in hopes we could maybe agree on ONE... just one. It became a joke. I started coming up with clever names to play against our last name. Waters. River Waters. Fisher Waters. Duncan Waters. Muddy Waters. Obviously we chose not to let our son be ridiculed and gave him the name Corbin.

The name for this blog didn't come easy. I wanted something clever. Something I could remember mostly (these days that is hard impossible to come by). Then it hit me. Muddy Waters. I started this blog as a way to express what was going on in our lives. I needed away from Facebook, but I still wanted those family and friends that cared to know what was going on. I wanted them to see our precious children growing and changing.

I realized The Muddy Waters Family was a very fitting name. Our life isn't perfect. Our life isn't crystal clear. Some days are hazy. Some days are gloomy. Others are full of sun and birds chirping. Muddy. Our lives are muddy. They aren't clear, but they aren't impassible. We can struggle through the mud knowing we are there for one another.

So here it is. My first blog. Next up... why my relationship with Facebook had to end & Corbin's progress!
