The Algeras

What! This used to be about boats! I wonder how long it will take Ben to notice I've taken over his blog address. Since he hasn't updated since March, I figured he wouldn't miss it. I thought about continuing Sara's blog and adding a David blog but that seemed like so much work. And every now and then Ben or I do something blogworthy. So this blog will be about anything and everything concerning the Algera family.

Most of you readers (is there anyone except the grandparents?) know us very well, but I'll start with a short intro.

Ben - Sara calls him daddyman, and that's just what he is. A daddy superhero! He is also an engineer, triathlete, photographer, backpacker and a gadget-buying pack rat (he's been called Joe Campmor). He is my loving husband and I couldn't wish for a better one!

Em - I usually answer to Mommy, mommy, mommy!!!! I'm a mom of two, an ICU nurse, a reader, a cook, a backpacker and a blogger once again.

Sara - Born 10/12/06, she will soon be 2. She is running around constantly and talking up a storm. Much of this blog may end up being about what Sara said and did on any given day. She keeps us smiling! We are learning patience every day as we learn to parent a toddler. She definitely knows her mind!

David - Born 6/25/08, he is just over 3 months old. He still mainly lives for eating, sleeping and pooping but has now added smiling and giggling to his bag of tricks. He also likes to look at mirrors and shadows, shake rattles and watch his sister pull tricks to get him to laugh. He thinks tummy time is a joke since he learned to roll over at the age of 2 weeks. Hopefully he will master the fine art of sleeping through the night before his mommy goes crazy.

That's my family! Let the stories begin!
