Intro to Richins Family Blog!!!

Lately I have been thinking a lot about our family and how we are growing apart, not necessarily in a bad way but we all have our own families now and are focused in on raising our children at least half as well as Mom and Dad raised us. That is making it difficult for some of us to travel to MO, TX, ID, IA, KS, or to come home to the mothership. Personally, if I passed a majority of my cousins and even some of my aunts and uncles on the street I wouldn't know them. I really do not want that to be the case with my girls. (By the way for those of you who may not know I have 3 girls now, Bailey(4), Eliza(2) and Paige(5 mos.) That is why I am starting this blog so that we can learn more about each other as a family and grow closer together.

Okay, so if you are not going to participate in this blog here is my pathetic try at persuading you by sending you on a guilt trip...
It is 10:15 at night and I have to get up in 4 hours to do a paper route so I am cutting into my sleep time to set this up for us all to enjoy.

Seriously, we all our have our free agency so if you don't want to write a blog that is fine you are still welcome to read about how much fun everyone else is having. No pressure at all. However, I hope that each of you will take the time to use this blog to tell funny stories, bare testimony, express love for each other, even if it is a line or two, you can even post pictures. This is not just for immediate family, I encourage spouses and kids to participate too. This can be used to promote events, birthday wishes, and announcements. This can be used as a Richins Family journal and it will archive each blog by month. Right now the world wide web can read this, so please respond quickly so that we can get our family registered and close it off so only our family can read it.
If you need help with figuring this out please call me and I will walk you through it. I love each of you and want to draw nearer to you through learning more about you.

Love, George
