Once in a blue blog . . .

Just shy of the 6 month mark and one baby later, I am back. I laugh every time I see our blog in print (on our Christmas cards, on my Facebook account, etc.) and how truly neglected it is. But hey - I am making progress as my previous posts were 7 months apart instead of 6!

I've been thinking about what the point of this blog should be? Is it a reflection of me? (I write it.) Is it a reflection of our family? (That's why I originally set up the blog.) Is it just a way to share photos? Is it another avenue to share cute little occurrences that are too long for Facebook? And how personal is too personal for the web?

I read other people's blogs here and there, but I am not much of a blog follower - mostly I get someone, or something, on my mind and search out their blog for a quick "update". I used to journal in a little black and white notebook (like 20 years ago), but I have never been able to stick with that either. Chronicling my activities online is one thing, but I actually sharing my FEELINGS is a whole other thing. So for now, I'm going to concentrate on updating our sad little bios and photos and see if it's worth printing our blog name on the Christmas cards gain this year. Wish me luck!
