Photo permissions

In my last post I mentioned that I'd be messing around with permissions for photos and blog entries so that our lives aren't quite so open to the whole world (ie. internet).

I realize that this may be a whole lot of navel-gazing... there really aren't scores and scores of strangers out there waiting impatiently for new blog posts or photos (just the Grandmas, I'm afraid). Just the same, this is my little attempt at privacy while utilizing the easiest way to share news with friends and family.

I've decided that my main concern is the visual portion of all this cyber-sharing. I'll keep posting here on Blogger so that any readers who stop through on an irregular basis can get a verbal account of what's going down around here. My Flickr account will become available only to those who are my Friend/Family contacts. If you'd like to keep seeing our photos over there, just join up, add me as a contact, and I'll confirm so that you can take a peek in on our lives every so often.

Copacetic? Sweet.

Spring Tease

We headed out to California for 10 days earlier this month and enjoyed temps in the 50s... then we returned to Chicago only to be greeted by delightful spring weather! So, the fact that it's snowing today is kind of a bummer.

While we trudge around in a very light coating of the white stuff, I'll remind myself that I did see crocuses peeking out and that I did leave the down coat behind for almost 2 full weeks. And, that spring will come... eventually. (Actually, it's not bad at all, but for most of our California readers, it seems to be a large topic of conversation, so I may as well play it up - can you hear the violin strings whining in the background?!)

Our August-born babe got his first taste of The Park! and The Swings! while in California and this trend continued this week as we met friends at the park for more Swinging! and Kid Watching! This is all capped and exclamation-pointed because that's what Christopher looks like when he's out there enjoying the motion and the commotion.

Password may be required soon! I'm debating putting all Flickr sets (past and future) on a password-required basis. Same goes for this here blog. I'll let you know when I get things set up by posting with instructions for gaining access to our web content.

Catching up with some photos here. These are from one month ago when Mike's parents came to visit Christopher (let's be honest about who they were coming to see, shall we?!). :)
I love this photo - a particularly animated Goodnight Moon!
