I started this blog in 2008 to keep friends and family up to date on what we were doing. I decided to post monthly updates and called it good. But it occurred to me that the blogs I love (see list to the right) post more often than monthly. And I feel like I really know them because they share more than a "monthly update" with their readers. So I decided to update this blog more frequently so that anyone who reads it (...crickets...) will feel like they are right here with us. Hopefully our chaotic life will be as entertaining and fun for the readers (...more crickets...) as theirs are!
