Yep, I'm a blogger

I've recently been reading two blogs, which have been created by friends who are currently abroad. I enjoy seeing what they are up to, and incidently it got me thinking that a blog is a great way to document life's experiences.
And the past year has definitely been an experience and one for the books, as they say.
My working life as a newspaper editor came to an end, I guess pause is a more appropriate word on August 1, 2008, as I said goodbye to 9-to-5, and hello to 24/7. Well, the 24/7 didn't come until August 19 at 7:48 p.m., when our beautiful son Quinn Robert entered the world.
I am on maternity leave, and have to admit, I am enjoying every minute of it. Although I don't punch a time clock everyday, I am busy, and the days seem to melt into weeks, and Quinn is almost 5 months old already.
I'm not sure why some women think maternity leave is boring.

My husband Rob and I are extremely blessed to have the best baby in the world. He is so content, easy going, and has the cutest damn smile we have ever seen, and the sweetest little voice. Rob keeps telling me to sign Quinn up for the Gerber Baby contest. I know, I know, you are probably thinking that every parent thinks their kid is the next Gerber baby, but honestly we get compliments about Quinn every where we go. People sometimes seem to go out of their way to come over and tell us how beautiful he is. Even if we are in our own little world here in Bala, I may start to do some research about how Quinn can become a Gerber Baby.

Anyway, the purpose of this blog is to document our life with Quinn, since I haven't been on the ball too much with documenting his every move, even when I was pregnant. Now, I kind of wish I started this blogging thing earlier. Another reason for this blog is to vent my need to write. For months my only want to sit down at the computer was to check my e-mail, and to snoop on Facebook. I haven't wanted to write anything, until I started checking out other people's blogs, and now I feel I have so much to say I'm not sure where to begin. So, stay tuned....
