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

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
