blogiversary

It seems I have been ranting and rambling here for an entire year. When I started I expected to lose interest in a few weeks or maybe months but Oliver's addition to our household has proved to be a source of endless blogging material.

I know I'm not the most skilled writer or the funniest blogger out there (though I think I could safely pit my son and dogs against any other child or dogs in a cuteness contest) but I have tried to be as honest as I can be in a public forum while remaining married. Here are a few of my favorite posts. Your mileage may vary, of course.

• Better Be a Growth Spurt
• He Likes a Fresh Diaper
• One More Time, With Feeling
• Anyone for Slaw?
• Green-eyed Monster

I hope to get better at this in the coming year. I know there won't be a shortage of blog-worthy (at least in my mind) stuff happening for me to practice on. At the moment our nearly 17 year old cat is feeling poorly, Chewy's backend isn't always communicating with his front end, and Oliver has embarked on a full-fledged vegetable strike. There's World Cup now, Tour de France starting soon, and Project Runway too. And let us not forget the possibility that the household may at some point in the coming year return to having "three dogs and a baby" (plus a toddler!).
