So, lots of people have asked if I will be continuing with my blog once we get to Indonesia. The answer is YES! I love this little blog of mine and love all of the people I have met over the past few years through it. I can't imagine letting it go.
However, there will be some changes, and I am not entirely sure what they will look like yet. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out a blog that will work for everyone...my family and friends who want pictures of the kids and updates on our life, scrapping friends that want LO's and product information, other moms who want the encouragement and inspiration, etc. etc. What to do, what to do... It is all so ME.
What I have decided is that there will be two blogs. I will keep this one pretty much the same as it has always been...a little of this and a little of that. Our family blog will be mostly photos of the kids and our life and updates for our supporters, family, and friends. Thankfully, typepad lets me clone entries so that when there is crossover I can post to both blogs at once. The family blog will be sans anything scrapping related (much to the relief, I am sure, of those who just don't get the whole scrapping thing :) It will also be lacking in my oh so interesting personal commentaries on life. Just the facts, madam.
I worked a lot over the weekend on purging the old family blog (last entry was *cough cough* um *cough cough* April of 2006 *cough*) I exported and then deleted the old stuff and added in all the new. It is a work in progress, but at least there is something! And for those of you have asked about being part of our support team (in prayer or financially), there is information about that too. So without further delay,
the FAMILY and FRIENDS BLOG (no scrapping allowed :)
******
Today is packing day. We leave tomorrow for Montana (after a trip to the zoo and to see some friends). When we get back from Montana we will only have two days until we leave for Indonesia (eek!) so we are trying to get the majority of the packing done today. I just finished the last big Wal-Mart run and now it is laundry, laundry, laundry and then figure out how to get all the stuff into eleven bags.
Hope your day is more fun than mine!

What zoo do you go to today?! Safe travels tomorrow! What area will you be in when you are back here for two days? OK OK - sorry for all the questions - LOL!

If anyone there has any extra space bags, they would really help you maximize your available luggage space. We use them with our college age daughters to fit everything in the car for trips to school. They work well for bedding, clothing, towels etc.
