10 minutes 'til dinner

The oven timer will ring in about 10 minutes - and the kids are singing their usual pre-dinner chant - so I am going to escape to "the blog".  You may be wondering, as I have, how did Nancy get sucked into the blogging world?  Well, when we met with Christian, Harve, and Audrey's birth-parents we committed to them to make pictures available to them so that they can see what the kids are up to and how they change with time, so we contemplated the best way to accomplish that over many years time.

Jaala and Harrison have a blog and it's fun to check in on them-because face book only has snippits and phone conversations don't include pictures - so we thought blogging about the whole family would  be a way for the birth parents parents to get a well rounded view of their lives and if anyone else wanted to peek in on us they could.

It's kind of a weird feeling, putting ourselves out in the great computer abyss where people can laugh at your typing mistakes, mispellings, and have evidence of your oddities - but the truth is, it's just confirmation of what you've all thought or known all along.

There is a bar on the side that tells me the general where-abouts of who checks in on the blog (mine says Littleton, CO - only a 5 hour drive from here) so, if you check us out maybe leave a little comment saying who you are, or email me, or call me, or whatever so you can laugh with us and not at us! :)

So, it's not that we think we're full of ourselves thinking we're particularly interesting - but fulfilling a commitment and making our lives available to our own family and friends who might want to check in on the circus when they have a bit of time.
