Blogging is hard work!

So I am FINALLY breaking down and starting a blog...evidently it is a required LAW when you are adopting! :) I began a few weeks ago but just couldn't bring myself to tell anyone until I had at least a few "bells and whistles" on it! So I have been on here for several hours (it's late, the girls are in bed!) trying to make this look like some of the really neat ones I have seen. Of course I have messed it up and had to do some repair work during this process too which is a pain in the neck. So if your looking at this and you are an experienced blogger and want to educate me on some things, I would appreciate any help you may offer! Otherwise, maybe this will keep me occupied until my little sweetie comes home.
