The beginning

You might wonder at the title of my blog site, The family that makes trash. Well, that is us in a nutshell. We recently were passed down this title from my mother-in-law as the Vars are done with diapers and we've just started over with the birth of Adrian. Two kids means twice as many diapers, boxes and other miscellaneous trash.

Speaking of trash, Jake took all the stuff that had been sitting outside our door (strictly prohibited by our apartment management) for weeks to the garbage area last night. I wish I had taken a picture of it before he cleared it out. Then you'd really understand how much trash we make. It's embarrassing really!

That all aside, the point of this blog is for our friends and family out of state (and in state if you're interested) to see what is going on in our lives. I thought this would be a good way to share pictures and stories as well as an archive for the kids to see what their early life was like. I will try to take pictures more often then I have been so you have something to look at.

Hope we can keep it interesting for you!

Yay! What a good idea this is. I loved reading your blogs. You made me get so excited to have some babies! I cannot believe how cute Allie and Adrian are. It's amazing how much they look just like you and Jake. Allie looks like she's loving the "big sister" role. I think you're going to like Adrian's baby present - Jordan picked it out himself! :) I'll try to get to the post office today. I just started teaching again, so I have been busy and exhausted! But it's been a great year so far. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my school! Anyway, this is a real-ly long comment. But it's so good to stay in touch this way...
