Things move so fast around here and (for all intents and purposes) this blog has been fairly dormant for the past 3 months or so. My youngest daughter, Teagan, was born in July and in addition to being a bit of a handful, having two kids is way more exhausting than just one. The kids just leave me tired and by 8PM every night I just want to kick back and relax. Then there is the major platform change that this blog underwent in early September as I changed the CMS from Textpattern to WordPress. That’s been a struggle of its own and I’m still not done with fixing image links, tags, and formatting on about 1400 of 1500 older posts. That’s going to be a work-in-progress for some time I think. Almost everyone in my house (with the exception of me) was sick for the majority of October. Throw in a birthday party for my oldest daughter Hailey turning four, a long weekend trip to Cincinnati and Kentucky bourbon country, Halloween (which is also my wife’s birthday), and the death of both our beloved cats and it’s been a crazy, exhausting, and stressful last few months.
I am (however) pleased to announce that you should (I won’t make any promises, but hopefully) be seeing regular posting around here starting shortly. Thanks for hanging in there kids. Sometimes life just gets in the way… I know you understand.


Sounds like you’ve been living fully and mostly well.
Condolences on the loss of your cats.
Great to see you back.
