Ok, we all know that naming your Blog appropriately is instrumental to its success, so I thought long and hard about what to name it. I mean, its almost like naming a child or choosing the name of your Halo character. After at least 45 seconds of back and forth between Emily and me, we settled on naming the Blog "Mueve el Ombligo." For those of you unfortunate enough to not understand Spanish, this directly translates to "Move the Belly Button." The significance of this song in our life is paramount. When in Chile for our first wedding anniversary, this little girl's song, titled "Mueve el Ombligo," was being played on every radio station and morning program known to Chileans. Due to its prevalence while we were there, it has been permanently imprinted in our minds and has somewhat become our song (I guess every couple is supposed to have A song, right?). And by our song, I mean I will sing the chorus line every now and again and Emily will give me a courtesy laugh. Neither of us knows the rest of the words or the name of the singer; however, the song is still very important to us. I almost get choked up thinking about it.
Ok, I decided to find the song on YouTube. Apparently the singer is Chirstell (she seems to be a big enough star to only have one name). Here is the link if you'd like to share an important part of our life.

Reason for Blogging
Well, up until now I have been set against starting a Blog despite Emily's repeated attempts to get me to do so. I don't know what it is, but I have just had something against blogging. Anyway, on Friday, Emily sent me the following email, essentially forcing me to start this Blog.
Top Ten Reasons You Should Start A Blog
1. Your parents would love to see the pictures
2. Not to mention your sisters too
3. You would be really great at blogging (quote from Deborah when I told her I wanted to start a blog: "oh why don't you have Ryan do it, he would be really good at it")
4. I've heard it is super easy, it wouldn't take up much time.
5. You haven't written a family letter in a while and it would be a good way to keep everybody up to date.
6. There are lots of cute videos I would like to share with the family
7. You would have fun
8. Everyone would see how cute our kids are
9. It a good way to save our memories of our boys
10. And Number ten: YOUR WIFE WOULD REALLY LOVE YOU FOR IT!
I replied back saying that my wife should love me irregardless of whether I start a Blog or not, but due to Emily's conditional love and my desire to save our marriage, I have thus decided to start this Blog. I hope you all get some benefit from the sacrifice I am making. Enjoy.
