WHOA! We're Baaaack...

So: after almost a year of not-blogging, a dear friend and life's trepidatious events of late have inspired me to return to our blogs...yippee! Here's the back story: I joined facebook about a year ago, and have been sharing pictures with family via facebook ever since. I thought this was a great idea, until I realized that I have really missed the writing component of the blogging...sure, you can write a certain amount of text along with photos on facebook, but EVERYONE sees it...there is just something sort of nice about knowing that not many people probably see our blog posts...and that the people who DO read them are only reading them because they have made the CHOICE to do so, not because it was just some random info that has popped up on someone's status...and so: I am not sure where I want to go with blogging at this point, whether we will merge the kids' blogs, how often we'll post, etc. but I DO KNOW THIS: we are BACK, baby!
