I'm sure that's what you've all been wondering. right? Where in the heck have we been? Well we decided to do a technology fast at the end of Joey's semester. We did it for three weeks, that's how long it was until the semester would end. It was hard. Much harder than I thought it would be.
Basically we did no movies TV or Internet (except Joey was allowed to for homework). I think the hardest thing was not being able to crash and put on a movie and just relax together. So we were wimps. We decided that we could do one movie a weekend. So we went to the Hunger Games (we were dying to go see it) and rented a movie the other weekend.
But even though we caved a tiny bit we still gained a lot from the experience. We did another puzzle together, which you can have pleasant conversation while doing unlike a movie. We read more, which is always good. And we worked on our own projects that we like to do that sometimes get put off because we can just hop on the computer or watch a movie. And we got to prove to ourselves that we can live without these things in our lives. Because I think that technology is becoming a big problem, especially with kids, but how can we expect them to not be addicted to it if we ourselves are??
Anyways I know what you have really been missing is not Joey and I and our lame technology fast story...it's pictures of Brinlee that you've really been missing. I don't blame you, they are very adorable!
Brinlee got an Easter card from Nana and Papa...
She looked at it.
She tasted it.
She tried the other side.
And then I told her it wasn't Easter candy, it was an Easter card
oohhhppps!!!
(sorry that picture is so blurry, I was trying to catch the moment quickly)
Then she smiled like it was no big deal.
I have lots more I would like to update on, and don't worry I will. Because Brinlee is just too cute to not put pictures up! But for now, happy late Easter!
