A bit of a blog update...
I have been working a lot lately on this behemoth of a family journal. It has been so long neglected that it isn't just a matter of starting back up again - there has been some repair work to do, as well. Sadly, most of the video links posted here through the years were broken - so I have been going back and re-embedding videos post by post. I have now checked and corrected all posts that included videos from January 2021 through July 2023. And I have updated the blog completely through July 2023. (there had been about a 6 month gap from fall 2022 - early 2023 left missing even when I last 'started back up' in spring 2023.) So, you can see there has been a lot of work going on here. Just not necessarily visible if you don't know where to look. :)
I am determined that this summer I will get everything up to date. I have actually been able to spend a lot of time the last couple weeks on this project, as well as updating all my digitization of videos and etc. So many things that have been on my 'to-do' list for the last several years are finally making their way to the top.
And it really feels good.
I think only Kerry and Katharine actually read this thing - and that is okay! My primary goal with this has always been to provide a family journal - an historical record for our family. That only becomes more important to me as the years go by and our family changes. I get such great joy looking back and seeing my dear Mama and Daddy's smiling faces in photos - and hearing their voices in videos. I also have joy looking at the more recent additions to our family, including a few who came after July 2023 so aren't even on here yet! It is important. And so I'll keep going on. Just give me a little more time to get current. :)
