crazy legs: the blog

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

OK, we're still here...

...but baby blogging is so 2005.

If you're not looking at our Crazy Legs photos on Flickr at http://flickr.com/photos/crazylegs/, then you've truly been missing out. And for that I apologize.

It's much easier to take photos than to write well-thought out posts about potty training, swimming lessons, and issues involved with the Terrible Threes. And I'm all about taking the easy way this time.

We have not abandoned the blog altogether, but seriously, I'm just so tired. ALWAYS. And my brain doesn't work because I think watching too much preschool programming has made it go to complete mush. So forgive me if you don't see a new post for months at a time.

Our photos at Flickr is totally the way to go for now, until I figure out how to write complete, um, word thingees again.

Stuff has happened since July 16th. Call, e-mail, IM or visit for details!

Love,
The Williamsons

P.S. We do update Flickr pretty regularly - so you can look at that too.

Overdue for an update

So, let's see...what's new?

Well, we moved into a new house a month ago. It took us 10 months to sell off our townhouse. It was getting to the point where we thought we going to have to die before someone else would move in.

But luckily, we've upgraded into a single family home that's roomier for us, and in a nice neighborhood. It's on a quiet cul-de-sac and literally 3 blocks walk from what will eventually be Colin's elementary.

Colin's in the middle of potty training, and it's getting to the point where we can see the end of the road, which is good because I'm sincerely tired of pull-ups and diapers. Of course, we know there'll be accidents from time to time, but it will be wonderful to be done with the expense that comes with Pampers.

He's loving the new house - he has a yard of his own to play in, and a room that isn't a converted office. I don't know how he survived without all the room he's got now. The only problem is that he's doing some things he's never done before, like opening the screen door and running out toward the road by himself. Scares us to death, and we're trying to get through to him on the dangers involved with it.

We saw the local Fourth of July parade, which he loved: "Firetrucks! Candy!" I mean, what kid wouldn't love that. Tried to watch some fireworks too. Made a special occasion of staying up late (9:30) to watch the fireworks near my workplace. Colin was all worked up to see them, and then when he heard the big booms and FIRE FALLING FROM THE SKY, that was about all he could handle. "I want to go inside," he said over and over, and clutched tightly to his mom. There are so many occasions for fireworks in the summer that I'm not too worried about long-term fears.

In our short time in the house, we've been visited by both sets of grandparents and Aunt Erica from Colorado. It's nice to have company stay over and not be relegated to a hotel, a couch or the floor. Soon we'll be seeing Colin's Bompo and Gigi (Great-grandparents to you and me), all the way up from Florida.

As for the lack of pictures, we still haven't found all the parts for the digital camera since we moved. I'll update with photos soon, as I'm hoping to make this more of a week by week journal of CL's exploits. However, given my recent history of missing great lengths of time, you really shouldn't expect me to keep that promise.

More soon.

Yeeeaaahhhh.....

So, despite the last post where we declared our suckiness for not posting anything, we still haven't gotten off our duffs and posted anything since. We'll probably just shut down Crazy Legs the Blog in the near future and just post photos to our flickr account. Then, anyone who cares can keep up with Colin's adventures there!

*sits back and waits to see if any comments are posted....yeah, I'd guessed not*

Apology

We suck. We haven't updated for almost 4 months.

In an effort to re-establish your friendship - here, look at some photos.

We promise to rededicate ourselves to the blog, especially now that Blogger has cool new features! Spring's around the corner and we're really happy about getting out-of-doors again. That can only mean more stuff to post, can't it?
