Well, I have lots of excuses for not blogging regularly.
This is excuse #1.
This is excuse #2.
I won't bother writing the rest down because all that matters is that I am back now, right?!?!? As I have mentioned before, writing is therapeutic for me...blogging is therapeutic for me. So, I guess this either means that everything is perfect and I don't need therapy with two children that are 287 days apart OR it means that two children 287 days apart just keep me pretty busy!
No worries, I am smart enough to keep ongoing Word documents for each of the kids where I write down things I want to remember like their stats at doctor's appointments or, their first this or that, or cute little thoughts/stories about each of their little lives. So, although the next few posts will be back logged...they are still accurate:)
The little hiatus I took has left me feeling rejuvenated and excited to get my friends and family updated somewhere other than Facebook. I love Facebook bunches, however, it is tricky because ALTHOUGH I have lots of witty status updates and photo captions, *ha-ha.*..they do me no good for preserving my little ones lives.
So what do I have in store for you during the next couple of weeks. Well, as far as I can tell from my poorly updated blog, I left off around Halloween when Gavin was getting ready to turn 18 months old. I did update one other time when Gigi turned one but that doesn't count so much since I missed a whole lot in between.
I will be adding the following posts...
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Gavin's second birthday, and lots of current stuff from the summer.
A few random notes/thoughts:
* The above posts might not actually end up in that order and probably will not be my most stellar posts. BUT, one day when the kids look back on this year of our life, they will be there. BTW, I plan on taking all of my posts and making them into a book using Blurb. Again, it is on the list, LOL.
* I documented the first 12 months of both Gavin and Gigi's lives by month. I chose to update this way because SO much changes from one month to the next in the first year. I decided that after a year I will update every 6 months with an "official" what they weigh, what their milestones are, and the things I want to remember when they are 30. I plan on blogging more than this but am hoping putting a little less pressure to come up with elaborate monthly posts will allow me to post more random little ones with fun pictures.
* I have taken up the hobby of photography and plan on either dedicating a specific section of my blog to just photography or creating a whole new blog to show my growth and treasured pictures. I have no ambition of becoming a professional. I just want to capture beautiful moments of my two little ones and learn to look at the world around me through the lens of my camera.
* I desperately need to update my sidebar photos. I honestly don't think there are any of the kids. I uploaded all of them when I had tons of time before babies. Now, not so much time. One day it will happen...until then if you look over there all you will see is lots of probably pics of the two of us. Still fun memories:)
I figure if you read this entire post that you deserve a few more recent pictures of Gavin and Gigi. So here you go! Stay tuned for more updates on our life at 0 to 2 in 287 Days and Living to Blog About It!
