It has been so long since I posted that I have forgotten my login info and Blogger has added features that make me feel like it's been 20 years! Nearly 8 years ago I started this blog--primarily so that daddy could see photos of his kids while he was away on his often back to back trips.  Now there are so many mechanisms that I can use...facebook, twitter, instagram, and that doesn't even scratch the surface of all the hipster social networking sites out there. 

I'm amazed too at the number of the blogs, so many of them well written and helpful.  I'm stunned at how thoroughly people will bear their souls, with varying degrees an anonymity.  I've spent my 30s growing up and growing into my own.  The clarity I have now in my life makes it easier to age.  I think about all that I know now about myself and the journey that becoming a mother has been.  I don't want to bear my soul, I don't want to share intimate details of my life for all to read.  I will continue to write the dry, minutiae blog this has been because it's fun like a scrapbook to look back and see what has been.
