I've been thinking about starting a family blog for quite a while. It would be nice to break away from social networking a little - on the occasion that I do post an update to our blog, I will post a link to it on facebook. It seems that even though things like facebook & twitter can be used in great ways to stay connected as friends & family, they seem to filled more with things that aren't that important. Mostly, I just want a way to have some record of the little & big things in our lives that might be forgotten otherwise.
