A Change in the Wind

I know that I haven't been good about updating recently. I always figured when I had a baby that I would have more things to write about, and I do. What I didn't take into consideration is the lack of time I'd have to update.

I've also been considering what I want this blog to be. I know, after a few years it seems a little late to be deciding that. Up until now, I've been content enough to allow this blog to be an update on our goings on and pictures. I still want to do that, but at the same time, I want the blog to be more. It's not just because I don't always feel like what we do is noteworthy, we're not the most exciting people; it's also because writing about activities gets monotonous. Sure we have some exciting things coming up, like we've made an offer on a house and if all goes well, we'll be closing in a few weeks and David's milestones are always exciting. At the same time, I write about that stuff in my journal and honestly, who wants to write the same thing multiple times? These are also things that I feel that people can call me and talk to me about, or I can share with them when I see them.

I'll admit that there are times that I start writing a post and get completely bored with it. This is probably caused partly because often I lack a clear vision of what I want to talk about, I am afraid of people's response, and also because the subject I'm writing about doesn't seem all that important in the end. Besides, if I get bored with what I'm writing, then there's not much hope that someone else will find it interesting.

So, what do I want this blog to be? It's a good question and not one that I feel like I can completely answer yet. I find in life there's always a balance to be found. In this case, perhaps the balance is a mixture of seriousness and light-heartedness.
