Not sure where to begin...

Deep Breath...
This is my first attempt at writing a blog post. I have no clue what I am doing and not sure where to begin, but I am going to attempt this mini challenge I have given myself for the time being. With changes around every corner in the Walker Atmosphere and people always wondering 'how do we do it...with four kids', I figured this would be a great way for people to keep up with our family as well as allow me to share our joys and challenges that make our atmosphere a true blessing.

Let the introduction begin!

 Who makes up the Walker Atmosphere? 
There are 6 of us, but sometimes it seems like there are more than that in our house. 


My husband...John. (He will probably ask me why this picture, but I will say why not.) I am not going to type anything mushy about my feelings or love for this amazing husband and father...just know that I have been truly blessed to have him at my side in this crazy atmosphere.

Side note... There probably will be lots of dorky weather terms incorporated into this blog given both of us have Meteorology degrees hence the title.

Our four amazing children...Claire, Jack, Audrey, and Sean. My kiddos...as I often refer to them...are beautiful, smart, amazing, crazy, Cajun, loud, stubborn, sassy, funny, super, determined individuals. They absolutely make the Walker Atmosphere interesting everyday. The kiddos push every button and test every limit, but that is what children do...it is their job!

And of course...there is ME and that is all I will say about myself at this time.

What outside factors contribute to the Walker Atmosphere?
(The list is in no particular order) Faith. Family. Friends. Jobs. School. Daycare. Extracurricular Activities. Travel. Weather. Meals. Finances. Exercise (or lack of). The SEC. Time. Sleep. Family Movie Night. Date Night. And whatever else may cause calmness or chaos. These will probably all be future blog topics.

When is the Walker Atmosphere Calm?  
Never (not even at bedtime because snoring can be heard in the monitor or next to my head) and I would not change it! 

Where is the Walker Atmosphere?  
Wherever we are at any given time.

Why share the Walker Atmosphere?
We are a good distance from family and friends and everyone always wants to know what is going on in our life. This is the easiest way to keep everyone up-to-date and the quietest way (no kiddos crying in the background while trying to talk on the phone). Also, people just want to know how we do it and so you are going to be able to read, see, and feel our emotion on how we do it.

How is the Walker Atmosphere?  
Roof over head. Clothes on back. Food on table. NO COMPLAINTS!

To our family and friends...we miss you tons everyday and I hope this blog helps you all to feel part of our daily journey. To those of you who are just wondering about raising four kiddos, well I hope this helps you in some way to see no matter how many kiddos you are blessed with, its not perfect, but the gift is PRICELESS.
