First Post Here

I've had a blog hosted on Xanga for nearly six years now, but it had too much personal information available on it and I didn't feel comfortable posting updates about our life.  I realized that it's never a good idea to have your full name as your username or web address, but Xanga isn't as user-friendly as blogger and charges $10 for username changes.  So hello blogger world, let's see how this works!

I'm hoping to use this blog primarily to keep our family and friends up to date on what is going on with SJ.  I frequently have other, deeper thoughts that I'd like to flesh out in writing [which was the primary purpose of my old Xanga], but seldom have time to really work those posts out.  On the rare occasions when I do find the time, those posts will probably appear on here also. 

SJ is getting fussy again, so I won't write a real update tonight.  Hopefully I'll have a chance to write at least her birth story by the end of the week.
