OK, here we come, blog world!!

Due to the encouragement of some friends, and because I have enjoyed visiting many wonderful blogs, I have decided to make the leap and create one for my family. I hope this becomes a way to keep in touch with family and old friends and make some new ones. I have decided to give our family code names because of my concern with publishing personal info on the great wide web. So I will write in first person, and then I will refer to our family members as DH, Teeny Bopper, Sweet G, Blondie, Little Miss, and Dr. Destructo. Those names pretty much sum us all up anyway. :)
So, to conclude my first post I hope that those of you who have kind things to say will post here and that we will have a good time getting to know each other better!
