taking it private..finally

Hello all! I am currently behind (seeing as this darling new baby of ours is keeping me a tad distracted with all the constant cuddling he needs:) but before I get caught up I thought I would post a warning that after careful consideration, and quite frankly quite a long time coming I have decided to take our blog private. In the FSO blogosphere I know that are many opinions on the subject, and I actually agree with both sides of the argument. For my sake though I sat and considered who I was really writing the blog for. In our house I am using it as kind of our "family scrapbook", and I turn it into a blog book. That being considered, among other things I realized that there are numerous reasons for me to make the change- including security concerns and being able to post things that I feel I am leaving out. I do, however, know that numerous fabulous folks read my blog though-both people I know and those who don't. I am not one to discriminate, and I do want to reward people who are avid fans...I know, I know...there are SO many of you!) so if you are one who would like to still be included please leave a comment and I will send you an invite. In any case though, I would like you to consider this your fair warning! I will be switching over in two weeks from now...count that as July 13! At some point I might decide to go the "two different blogs" route, as many others of you out there...but for the time being, this is all I can manage!
