Post-updating

OK, I just discovered this pretty cool feature about blogging. It’s possible to post something in the past! So even though I am a couple of months past the day we celebrated Brooke’s birthday, I can publish my blog post on the date we celebrated it! Makes it look like I’m much more on the ball than I actually am.  :-D  I also published 4 book reviews for books I read in January and February. I’m trying to keep up on my book reviews, because I want to keep a log of books I’ve read. And typing up the reviews and remembering that I read them all in less than 2 months helps me to realize why my blogging slacked off so much in January and February.  Oh yeah … I was reading! I’m glad I can account for at least some of my time.  :-)  So, for those with sharp eyes, you may notice me back-dating a blog post or two. ;-) 

A few pictures of a little of what we’ve been up to lately …

Listening to Rachel learning her latest repertoire. My favorite would either be Chopin’s “Trois Nocturnes” or Beethoven’s “Sonata No. 9 in E Major”, 2nd movement. She’s been working hard on these, and the others and has really been diligent about practicing her scales every day. Sometimes, we even find ourselves humming along with the scales. Ha!

Comparing pictures of Grant and Mick taken at the age of 5 years, 9 months. Definitely some similarities!

And just a few weeks after that picture was taken, Grant has sprouted facial hair already! How time does fly.

Shhhhh…

Apparently my blog is asleep.

The other day, one of the girls told me I needed a schedule to make sure I update my blog regularly. :-) Then she told me it had been over a month since I’d updated it. What?!  I couldn’t believe it! But I checked and found I’d written nothing during the month of February.*  I know we did do things in February. Let’s see, there was a birthday celebrated, the Olympics watched, meals made, diapers changed, kids carted around, books read, dark chocolate consumed… Let’s see, what else? We did things as wonderful and momentous as meeting our newest niece/cousin, Elianna



and as mundane and boring as filing our taxes (no picture).

Yesterday, I was talking to Minda and she told me that she checks mine and Kelly’s blogs every day to see if we’ve posted anything new. So, this post is for you, Minda!  So far in March, I’ve already topped my posting total for February, so that makes me officially on a roll. I’ll see if I can’t get another post or two up before Easter. 

* I have recently discovered the ability to post blog updates in the past.  So now there are a few February posts. Still need to add one for Erica's birthday, but that is in the works.  :-)
