I have been contemplating doing it for a long time. Part of me doesn't want to, because it seems cliche. I don't have time to read all of my friends' blogs, so why add one more to the blogosphere? Then there is the argument that it will really reduce communication between me and my friends. I agree that this will probably be the case for some. And the jury is still out about whether I will really have time to actually post anything.
So, why am I diving in? I really love keeping up on the day to day affairs of friends I have moved away from. I loved being able to get to see and know Becky's baby, KB, before I met her. I love being able to show Jack and Molly pictures of all their St. Louis friends so that the memories don't die. I think it is awesome that we can see pictures of Jessie's new life in Brooklyn so that we can picture her in her goings and comings. It makes me feel connected and a part of their lives.
It makes me sad that our lives are a question mark to so many family and friends. They don't get to see the recent pictures of our kids or hear about our activities. With Abbey and Caroline on the way, it seems even more important. I want our family and friends to know these new additions to our family, even though it may be months or years before they ever meet them. This blog will give anyone who is interested a way to check in with us and our growing family. I hate being separated by the miles and the lack of time to keep up with everyone individually. Hopefully this blog will fill in the gaps.

Hooray! I am glad you finally started a blog. Just remember you can always resort to posting pictures if you are out of time! And I love the name!
Thanks, friend. I actually thought of the name months ago, when I was still wrestling over starting it. Glad to hear your family is healthy again.
Marcie! Thank you for having the blog. It's already made me very homesick (for whenever everyone can all get together). Anytime, anything. Love, Bakie
