In the not so distant past, my mother asked me if we had just abandoned the blog altogether. At that time, I said that wasn't the case. However, appearances tell a different story.
Sorry, folks and faithful followers (you're out there, right?); it was never our intention to drop off the face of the blogosphere. We always had good intentions of making holiday posts and whatnot. It just never happened. Call it laziness if you must.
Anyway, I am here again, posting something. No big news to report. A year's worth of events would be too long. I can throw a few pictures up though. I can tell you that soccer season is about to start back up and Natalie is very excited. I can confess that I am too. I enjoy watching her play and coaching the team. I can tell you that her mother and I are dumbfounded and stricken with grief when we think about her starting kindergarten at the end of this summer. Is that really possible?
I guess the the most encapsulating thing to say is that she is growing up fast. She was 14 months old when we met her on August 2, 2010. She will be 5 in May. She is a smart kid. Behaves most of the time. Is trying to perfect her lying techniques but we are currently still able to thwart them. She still has a stranglehold over our hearts and the hearts of most people she meets.
So...that is it. The blog has not been abandoned. We are still alive. I am still lazy, but will endeavor to post more often if I know someone is reading.
