the blog conflict
So, since Bruce has arrived, I have been trying to decide which direction I want my blogging to go...
My blog life started on this blog, where I would post oh so random things, and events I wanted to remember about my life, travels and marriage. I never kept up with it very well, and seemed to be searching for things to write about.
Through the pregnancy, most of my updates were about the boy, and I put these posts on my baby blog. This blog was meant for me to journal our conception story, and pregnancy. Now that the boy is here, my life doesn't seem to be divided into two compartments anymore. I don't necessarily want to use my baby blog as our family blog, but I don't really feel attached to this blog anymore either. So, I'm not sure what to do. I have to decide between keeping both blogs, keeping one or the other, or starting fresh.
I know these things: I want to blog. Also, if I'm going to continue to blog, I need to dedicate myself to keeping up with it, for me. This will include taking more pictures. I also know that I need inspiration.
This may seem so silly, but I feel like I've been missing out on keeping record of important moments because my blog situation feels chaotic and out of order! Seriously, I need help :) However, I'm hoping, by putting this dilemma out in the universe, I will be able to sort through it all and move forward soon.
Any advice is more than welcome :)

my boy
I am so grateful to have a husband who loves recreating outdoors... There is always adventure around the corner.
That being said, I'm also extremely grateful he hasn't been injured any worse than he has. Greg is an adrenaline junkie and hey, accidents happen! Really though, he's super coordinated and has a passion for the outdoors. I love it. So, this week, he had a mountain biking accident. His back tire slipped off the trail and threw him off the bike. Here are some of the battle wounds.

happy fathers day!
The end of June, my mind is always filled with thoughts and memories of my dad. Fathers Day and his birthday are less than a week apart.
Happy Fathers Day to my poppa. I miss you, and I think about you a lot. Really, everyday.
I think about how you always made sure I knew you loved me.
You were so proud of me, I could see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice. (maybe I didn't deserve all of the praise, but from you, I was happy to take it.)
When I would get off the airplane, you'd always hold my hand. You'd walk with your head held high, like I was the best thing about your day... and I think you really felt that way.
I love your love of music. Something about it, whether on the radio, live, or being played by us, would always put a shine in your eye and a huge grin on your face.
