IMPORTANT POST !!!! Privacy Paranoia !!!!

Hello Friends and Family,

I hope everyone reads this blog, or those who do share with the occasional readers, as I don't want anyone to miss out who reads this even occasionally.  

In about a week I am going to change the privacy of this blog to listed people only.  I will need your email address to add you to the list. PLEASE EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW!!!

My privacy paranoia started a couple of month ago. While I try not to be "that kind of person" I became less-than confident in internet privacy and proceeded to remove all photos of my kids from Facebook. In fact I pretty much only read Facebook and rarely post things anymore.

A couple of days ago I read an article from CatholicMom.org talking about creepy people trolling blogs on the internet for pictures of kids. I'm sure I don't have to elaborate why they do this.

Anyway, I want a way to share with all of you who are far away, but I also want to be able to put up photos and not feel that creepy people could be looking at them. Blogger does not track where readers come from except by country and browser. So I am taking the most conservative route that I can. I already have my blog set to not searchable. I have taken our name out of the title, and I think I may change the URL as well (I will post that change, or send an email)

I will try to do this next weekend after I have some names. You should receive an invitation. This will require you to log on to see the blog, though most browsers will remember your credentials for you.

I hope you understand my concern and my desire to keep my privacy private - especially for my kiddos. One extra step to keep them safer seems like a no-brainer to me.

Thanks in advance,
Dena

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
