Why Life is More Important than Blogging

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of very successful blogger friends out there.  But I've decided not to be one of them.  Maybe I'll post a picture or a story here and there for those of you who love me and care, but the truth is THIS:

Nikolas Jack Benedict, born Feb 12th 2013 at home.  Our smallest yet at 9#3oz.

Our family right after NJ was born                           

Sleeping peacefully this morning at 2 months old

is infinitely more important than blogging.


Also, we're moving to North Carolina in a few months to live on a farm and generally abandon the indoor life for awhile.  More on that soon.
