As you have ascertained, because you are a smart person (and my dearest friend [or family member]), I have more or less abandoned this site. It wasn’t on purpose. Greta had her blog up and running (note to self: help Greta get back on the blogging wagon) and she more or less took over the duties of familial blogging. I still host the kids stuffed animal pictures (note to self: update the stuffed animal pictures) and I have a couple dozen half-finished blog posts, but I really don’t post here much anymore.
BUT, because I am a nerd and I still love to blog, I’m converting this site into a test site for my other more frequently updated sites: buttonmashing.com and menofthescarletandgray.com. So things will still be going on here, theme changes, graphic tests, what have you. And heck, I might even get the desire to go back and update some of those old drafts. But for now, I’m just straightening things up so I can try on some new themes.


Today while we were cleaning up the basement, I decided it’d be a good time to test the fire alarms. The one in the basement makes an awfully loud and unpleasant sound, which startled Corinne. Greta and I figured this would be a good time to talk about what to do if the fire alarms were to go off. We explained to Corinne that she should try to find us and we could all get out of the house safely. Then we’d call the firemen.
