A New Year’s Resolution

Every year I think about the New Year’s Resolutions I want to make.  They are almost always in the same vein as most peoples’:  lose weight, exercise, break bad habits etc…I commit to each resolution with vigor and, as I’m sure many people have experienced, by the end of January my enthusiasm is waning, by Valentine’s day the resolutions are all but forgotten.  

This year, I thought I would try for one that I could perhaps realistically follow through with.  It’s simple really, I’m resolving to revive this dusty old blog.  At this time I am leaving some pretty broad parameters for revival:  I am committing to blogging at least twice a month.  Now that The Kiddo is old enough to play on his own for brief periods and he has decided that upstairs is his favorite place to play (and upstairs is where my computer resides), this goal should be an attainable one.  The Hubby has found me this wonderful new theme for said blog and I feel that he thus deserves to see his wife use it from time to time. 

I don’t know where this new blog may lead…I cannot promise that my posts will always be about knitting or will contain photos (which to me are the lifeblood of an interesting blog), or that this new blog won’t be continually saturated with anecdotes about my child and parenthood that will be interesting to no one but me, but it’s my blog, I can do with it what I choose!  I have written blog posts so often in the last year and a half, always imagining some distant reader perusing those words and becoming inspired or at least mildly interested, enough to come back and read the next post.  Now I think I will try to focus on writing for me.  It’s what’s most important anyway.  Should someone else decide to read this, then all the better.  I hope it will be enjoyable to anyone who would devote their time to it.

Back from the dead?

Hi there!  This is B writing….

Been working on getting E’s blog back up and running so she can use it.  We moved to a new webhost and I finally got the latest version of Wordpress running.  Also found this great knitting theme from David Cole.  The link to his site where you can download it is at the bottom.  Worked on getting a lot of the kinks out of the links, pages and general format.  I had used so many different plugins and “hacks” with the old versions of Wordpres that it was kind of a mess going to the new version.  Think I finally got it up and running though.  Hope E likes it…  And I hope you do too!

Sick

The whole family is fighting colds here.  First L then B and I.  I hate that L is not even 3 months old and is sick, I’ve felt we’ve been so careful, never taking him anywhere and only exposing him to his grandparents and the occasional visitor.  But he seems to be recovering well.  He still has some congestion, but he’s doing much better, which is great because I’m sure I got run down while I was getting up every hour at night to see how he was doing.  It just broke my heart to hear him trying to breathe through all that congestion.

Spike

In the meantime, here’s my spikey haired kid, pre-first-cold.  His nickname has turned out to be so appropriate!

It just gets better!

Not only did I NOT jinx it, but my sweet little guy slept 7 and 1/2 hours last night!!!  He must have known mommy was needing a good nights sleep. 

Now we can be all charged up for another day of exploring new things….

Hey, what's that?
(what the heck is that thing??)

Baby and Kitty
(Eddie says…Is that baby human still here???)

As a sidenote, I have no idea why my blog has lost all it's sidebar links and buttons and it's pages.  I'm not very happy about it and unfortunately don't have time to fix it.  The links shouldn't be too bad, but the pages would take a very long time to reconstruct so I have no idea if I will do that or not.  Maybe I'll just have to start with the current year of knitting (if I ever have time to knit again!) and just rebuild from there.  If Liam continues sleeping like this, I may be able to knit again someday instead of falling exhausted to the couch every time he naps!
