and so it begins?

I didn't get a cell phone until 2 years ago and I still don't text so it's no surprise that this blogging thing has not been part of my life - as of yet. The problem is that my little guy is changing on what seems to be an hourly basis and, due to our remote location, our family and friends are not getting to witness this. Not being very good at staying in touch, nor having abundant spare time due to caring for said boy and trying to finish a PhD prevent me from sharing as much or often as people may wish. Being the little wunderkind's mother I am sure my perception of him as the most amazing and captivating thing ever is somewhat skewed, so emailing everyone I know en masse every time he does something "cute" would quickly fill people's in-boxes and probably not endear me to anyone but perhaps his grandparents. So, a blog it is. I'll give it a try, but no promises. Enjoy, or ignore. Please post comments or start a blog of your own as we miss you all and want to know what you are up to!
