A year later...

As I CLEARLY have proven TIME AND TIME again, I am horrible at this blogging thing. But, recent events have given me cause to think I can make it work. (Insert maniacal laugh here.) Ok, fine. I can at least have fun pretending for a few days, right?

Corey, my mostly wonderful husband, started his own blog. Inspired by the amazing father/son athletic duo of Dick and Rick Hoyt (Rick is disabled), Corey took Cady (our 5-year-old with CP) to the streets in a second-hand jogging stroller. What an amazing experience it has been for both of them! Not only has it given them something to do together, AND does it give Cady something to get excited about other than the television, BUT it has spurred Corey to enter the two of them into the Falmouth Road Race as a runner for the Easter Seals.

More on that later. (Maybe.) (If I actually make a habit of this.)

Reading his posts, as well as those of my brother-in-law Chris, whom, as much as I hate admitting it, is a funny bastard, got me thinking about my own blogging experiences failures. I went back and read some of the stuff I had written and, after making myself laugh at my own humor on more than one occasion, I was compelled to start anew.

Start anew? Sure, why not?

Last we left off, I was bragging about C's super sperm. Turns out it really is fantastic. Look at what it made:




That's Kenley. Isn't she beautiful? I know I am supposed to say that, being her mother and all, but you can't  tell me you don't agree. She has turned out to be the biggest and most welcome surprise of my life and I cannot imagine a single day without her now that she's here.

One day back in January, I was staring at her brand-new face, in absolute awe of her, when I, very sincerely, announced to C that I was going to send the doctor who did his vasectomy a thank you card. He laughed. I was serious. I suggested a birth announcement instead and he turned down that idea, too. I'd probably have done it anyway, but I suspected that was one doctor's office where the announcement wouldn't find a home on the wall.

Ain't  gonna lie. I started this post at 10 a.m. (leaving off where I inserted Kenley's picture) and here it is almost 9 at night. I forgot half of the witty, sarcastic, cute, funny...whatever...things I was going to say and I am ready to wrap this up.

That folks, is why I don't blog.  But whatever. I'll give it the ol' college try anyway. I'll even work on making it worth reading.

Til then...
