After 6 years I am unsure what to write here any more. Funny how that works. The boys are still interested in doing the gnome picture, so that can be posted. I have a few ideas and have started taking notes on post ideas. Should it be this difficult? Is it worth it to continue? I don't do this for the comments or to say "i have a blog", but sometimes it feels like I'm doing this by rote - no real reason. We talk to our families - they know what is happening in our lives. Do they need the information here or is this a redundancy that can end?
I just don't know. I don't know if this matters any more. To me, to any one. So, I'm going to think, and I'm going to try a few things over the next month and then we'll go from there. For those who read - is there something you'd like to see? Hear about? Am I missing something? I know more pictures would be good and we know how photogenic all the men in my life are! Let me know.
For now my babies are sleeping away a snow day, not realizing that I haven't woken them and that they can stay snuggled in their beds until noon, should they wish. It is so awesome that these things happen sometimes. What a special surprise for them when they finally wake.
I, my friends, will be braving the weather to take my car for service (although I must admit Craig can't understand why there is a snow day as the roads are fine), and hoping to see my sweet friend (and aunt to boot) later today.
So for now we will see where this takes us. PLEASE take a moment and weigh in on this. I'd love to hear from you.

I love to read the blog, but you are right, we talk together and know what's going on in each others lives as much as we want to share. You are getting busier in your life now so maybe you are feeling a little overwhelmed by thinking you have to do this more than you want to. I think my "good mornings" are redundant also but it's the only way I know that you are all ok, everyday. I know where you are coming from because I feel that you girls feel you have to take time out of your busy day to respond. A 'good morning' response would suffice however, unless you had more to say and time to say it. The blog is supposed to be an enjoyable part of your day. When something becomes a chore, it's time for a change. I also think it must be demoralizing to spend the time writing and not getting many responses. I know I feel guilty when we're away and don't have access to reply. You do what feels right to you. All good things come to an end at some point. I'm sure all who read it, enjoy it. You don't enjoy doing it anymore, so don't. No one would think there's anything wrong with that. Times change and change is good.
I have weighed in, the choice is yours, only yours.
Love you to bits.
Love to all
I know as an infrequent responder my opinion does not hold a lot of weight but we do read the blog - usually on a regular basis. We don't always reply but enjoy seeing and hearing what's going on across borders with a touch of a finger. It is ultimately your choice. I know I struggle to gets posts done and also wonder if anyone reads. Not sure if this helps but just thought you should know that we are subscribers. Take care.
Good morning Shannon - sorry it's taken me so long to answer re: At a Loss. We have loved reading your Blog over the years that you have so faithfully put something on but we agree with your mom - when you don't enjoy doing something - don't. We do get a little caught up by chatting mostly to Craig every week and it's easy enough to send an e-mail with a photo of our handsome grandsons so we would not think there's anything wrong with you not having the Blog. We love you so much and hope we can have a visit more often in 2014. Take care.
BIG HUGS TO ALL!
