Ahem….

Well hello there! I feel like every time I come to this blog, I need to reintroduce myself.

I don’t know why I have neglected it for so long.
I think I have a writer’s block.
Remember when I would write and would say something witty and clever?
Sometimes it would be Laugh-Out-Loud funny.

Sometimes it would be deeper with more meaning and feeling.
Sometimes brutally honest.

Then I forgot how to write like that.
My blog turned into a travelogue.
We went here…. We did that… We saw this… We saw that….
Blah
Blah
Blah
*****snore*****

Also, Scooter started growing up.
Admittedly, a lot of my posts were about him and the funny things he’d do and say
(Who remembers him crying upstairs while looking at his skinny bum in the mirror saying his crack had disappeared?
It had disappeared because he was bent over and he has NO FAT!
But that’s beside the point!
He was looking at his bum in the mirror for heaven’s sake!!!!)

(Or the time he came sobbing down the stairs and when we asked him what was wrong,
he said, in as dramatic a voice as possible,
”I feel like an OLD MAN!”)

Things like that don’t happen as much anymore.
Which is a LOT sad.

So here I am looking at my blog.
It’s a new year.
Maybe I should make some new promises regarding this area:
* A new post once a week
* If not once a week, at least twice a month
* More pictures (Hah! As if I don’t already put too many on here.)
* LESS pictures
* More creative writing
* etc. etc.

I probably won’t.
As Mary Poppins says,
“It’s a pie crust promise. Easily made. Easily broken.”

But,
I can promise to try to be more diligent.
I can promise to not be a stranger.
I can be more engaged in life so I can think of more things to write about.
I can still include some travelogue. It’s nice to remember where we’ve been and what we’ve done.
And I would love to include a couple hundred pictures of this cute little guy.
Because, I don’t think there is any cuter babies in the world than him!
