Saw this idea on Mark Daniel's blog and thought it was a fun one to copy. Here's a sampling of posts from the past year - one for each month. I tried to pick posts that seemed to sum up that period of time for me. Some months were easier and more obvious than others.
January: To VBAC or not to VBAC?
February: Bedtime Stories
March: In Walks a Man
April: Yo, yo, yo. Wha's Down in the Crib?
May: A Typical Night
June: What I'd Forgotten About Babies
July: Got Milk?
August: The Anti-Blog Post
September: Remembering 9/11
October: The Foosball Chronicles
November: Far, Far Away
December: On the Seventh Day of Christmas, My Blogfriend Gave to Me ...
I realized in compiling this list that I'm really only good for about one memorable post per month, and not even that of late. Anyone who's reading along should be commended for sticking it out with me from one good post to the next.
The other thing I realized - or rather, remembered - is why I enjoy blogging, and why it's worthwhile to take the time to record my thoughts here inside this computer. I really have been meaning to type up a Christmas summary, and now I'm feeling somewhat inspired to do it - for posterity's sake. Maybe I'll find time for that later this week. Or maybe not. But I'll likely hammer out one decent post sometime in the next 30 days or so. I hope you'll come back to read it.
Happy New Year!

It's good to keep track of your history. When we find pics or traces of our history it's rarely labeled and hard to figure the importance of why someone would have kept these things all their life. Imagine all the history that will be available to yours/ours future families. I sometimes wonder if they will be overwhelmed with all the details of their ancestors lives. Will it be info. overload or will they love it and cherish it? Either way I think it's good to have someone creative in each family that is willing to spend the time and effort to keep track of memories.
Someday some great-grand-daughter may be inspired to write because of great-grandma Al's diaries.
