well, i've done it. i've joined the masses to create a pseudo-website for the family. my cousin's wife started a blog for her upcoming birth and i thought it was brilliant. not only is it simple to use - it's free! :)
i vow this will not house a forum for political insights, religious beliefs or complaints about life. nor will i post the most viewed youtube clips or cartoons. my plan is to share with our loved ones the goings-on with our family in the hopes we can all keep in touch.
therefore, feel free to bookmark the page and return when you desire some entertainment. i'll try to keep current and post photos often.
on to family news...
daddy: ryan remains truly busy with the business as of late. besides the design of 'inside columbia' monthly [insidecolumbia.net] and the lodge of the four seasons magazine 'experience'; he has taken on 'ozarks magazine' which publishes each month as well [ozarksmagazine.com]. ryan has also begun to perfect his culinary skills. each evening he amazes me with a creative spin on a classic or something completely different. i have to admit i'm a pretty lucky girl.
mommy: i have returned to work full-time after taking maternity leave. was a terrifying change, yet i am enjoying work and the paycheck doesn't hurt either! i am working 4 days a week at the Herald [stegenherald.com] and continue as the 'bookkeeper' for rc design (although i'm not as up-to-date as i should be - sorry dad).
bubby: warren is your typical onery 4.5-year-old. he attends preschool 5 days a week (or else his parents would go insane) and i believe 'tries' to stay out of trouble. :) he is swimming under water now and has mastered the monkey bars on the play ground. he was recently evaluated by our parents as teachers instructor and scored extremely high for his age. he must get that from his dad :)
sissy: ellie is now 6 mos. old and darling as ever - that she gets from her mom :) she is sitting up, scooting backwards, rolling everywhere and jabbering nonstop like her brother. she is going to daycare 4 days a week and is fascinated by all of the other babies to play with. she never stops smiling, unless she is hungry and is certainly spoiled.
as my first attempt at 'blogging' i don't think i fared too badly. practice makes perfect, they say.

Jen,
This is a great idea. Keep up the writing. It's great to be able to keep up with your goings on since we don't get to talk or email as much as we should. Miss you girlie!

jenny, what a nice family page for all of us that live so far apart that we would lose track of each other. It is always a joy to see your kids and how quickly they are growing. I am glad that the going back to work was not too tramatic and that all is well in your world. My kids finished their time in the cornfields for this summer and even I am thankful that it was not a longer year. Every morning at 5am packing them out the door and then working and packing them and all the dirt back in at the end of the day was tiresome. They had decent weather, a few storms and wet clothes, feet etc... but no worse for wear. It is a character building job to say the least.
Talk soon,
SO WHEN ARE WE COMING OVER FOR DINNER?! ;)
