Better late than never...

Well I must say, I did it... I haven't posted in about a whole year. I knew I could do it, way to go...
As much as I would like to put a positive spin on it, I just can't erase the fact that I have been completely a-wall in the blog department. But thankfully I have my great little conscience, kind'a like a Jimmie Cricket type, but a little bigger, who occasionally whispers to me and says, when are you going to put something on the blog. Or, I sure do miss our blog. And in fact when I logged on again today to see the sorry state of affairs, I missed my blog too!
It was so wonderful to see some of my old posts and gaze in wonderment at how big my kids are now. I re-read about some of our trips and it was fun reading things that I had forgotten. So I must say, blogs are a good thing. And I will try my best to preserve a history for my children and their children the best I can. There, I've said it, now I must go and do...
So don't give up on us, we are still in Iowa. Although sadly, not Dubuquers anymore, but we've taken up residence in the wonderful town of West Des Moines, that is west of Des Moines. We been here since July 2010 and have enjoyed this new chapter in our lives. So here you have it, we may have been down but not out....
