Why Start a Blog?

I've actually been wanting to do this for a long time. It's just finding the time to get it going and figure it all out. My main intension is to be able to share family pictures and news with all our friends and family. As most of you know we have been really bad about sending pictures, birthday cards and keeping up with who did we tell what. I'm hoping that this gives you a lot more information and interaction with us. It may turn into more than just that, but that's where I am starting! If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to make what you see better leave me a comment.

It really hit home this Thanksgiving. Charles' sister Carrie and her family visited us for a few days this week. I can't believe how long it has been since we have all been together! The last time I saw Carrie and her family was when Logan was a baby. Her kids have really grown and I am afraid the clothes I bought them for Christmas were all too small! Charles and Logan made two other trips to West Virginia without me in the past couple of years. And I have made trips with Logan to see my family without Charles. It is sometimes just too expensive to fly and take off of work.

I hope to be able to work on the blog at least once a week. My first priority is adding some pictures so everyone can see what we look like now. (Pictures may be too scary for you the first time here! LOL) Logan recently had his 6th birthday and Carrie and family were here for Thanksgiving. I should be able to get those up within a week. You can also sign up for the RSS feed so you can be notified when I actually post something. That way you don't have to check it all the time to see if I am still alive! Some other things I want to do is share information about Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance with links and recipes. There is other stuff I want to share,but I'll save it for later so the hole I am digging myself isn't so deep! This will be a public blog so I can find others who share my interests. Thanks for reading!
