So this is the beginning.....

So, this is the beginning. Of what I'm not sure. I guess we'll see where it goes. Mike has been blogging forever and I always enjoy reading it- so here I go with both feet.....into the great blog open.

Why Cupcakes and Crossbones? I guess that's as good a place as any to start.
My life often seems like a contradiction.
Mike and I are very different. He is ultra fit and into riding his bike a lot. He is dedicated, driven, and tough. He seems to feel very little physical pain. He is happiest in motion.
I am the opposite. I like to read, bake, and knit. I like to sit. I get tired easily. I often have physical pain. Then, there is our amazing daughter, Mabel. Mabel is a scary combination of the two of us with a lot of herself mixed in. She like to be in motion ALL day then settle in and cuddle in the evening. She likes to run, ride, spin, skip, dance. She wears her heart on her sleeve. She is honest about her feelings to a fault. She has energy for days.
She helps keep us tuned in to each other.
This is us.....cupcakes and crossbones



This is kinda What I Mean...
