The end of school is always crazy, so I am going to step away from the blog for a few weeks. When I return, I'll have plenty to post about, and I hope to be using a new computer! We ordered a new computer today to replace the one we lost to lightning. By purchasing a new desktop, we also got a great deal on a new laptop, so maybe I'll start posting again from some exotic location with WIFI (like Chick-fil-a). :)

Ever since I lost my blog, I feel like I am moving. When you move from one home to another, a lot of stuff gets tossed. My blog will be the same way. As I try to salvage posts from the google cache and google reader, I am not reworking everything--I just don't have time to salvage three years worth of blogging. I am trying to recreate the posts that mean the most to me.

In the mean time, please excuse the excessive numbers of posts that show up if you are following me in a reader. As I redo old posts, they show up just like the new ones. I am also moving to a new URL: baseballsandbows.com will be my new domain (thanks for the suggestion, Dawn). Not only is this easier to remember, but since it is tied to my name, address, and credit card, I won't ever have trouble getting it back if it gets deleted (google keeps replying by email that I can't prove the former blog was mine).

Also, Jennifer let me know that my text and pictures appear gray in Firefox. I have no idea why this is happening, but if anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them!

Thanks!

Well, three years worth of blogging is gone. I tried to disassociate an email from my blog and ended up without access to my blog at all. The thought of losing all the little things I have documented about my kids is staggering, but there is nothing to do but start over and try to get my content back (since I can't email or talk to a real person at google, I don't know if that will ever happen).

I'll hope that I can get my old blog back, but I'll have to keep moving forward for now! (Until I have time to correct everything, please excuse some of the outdated links and sidebar info.)

UPDATE: Thanks to Leah in Iowa, I realized that Google Reader has all my old posts except the first two months! I would love to be able to fully restore my blog, but at least I haven't lost everything. I can cut and paste some of the most important things. Thanks, Leah!

Hello family and friends! This is my version of a blog. I hope you will visit to see what is going on in our home. I will try to keep you updated with pictures and stories. The title, "Baseballs and Bows," is in honor of my favorite boy and best girl. Of course, knowing my favorite boy, I probably should have named it "Footballs and Bows," but that did not sound as catchy. I hope you enjoy checking in on us every now and then.
