The Coy Pond

Here are a few pictures from Jarrod’s First Birthday Party… only 1 month and 20 days late. Hey, what do you want? It was hard enough throwing a party at that point! EVERYTHING was making me sick!

Anyway, these are just a few, but I wanted to get them posted…

"I'm not sure about this..."

Eva wanted to show Jarrod how to play with one of her very favorite toys. So sweet!

1 month and 20 days ago, Jarrod still used his tongue for balance while he walked. It's not so necessary these days...

I managed to import posts all the way back through part of October of last year. HUGE victory!! In my free (HA) time today, I’ve been trying like you would not believe to import my Blogger posts into Wordpress. It’s supposed to be easy. (HA again!) Thankfully, I figured out a way to get at least part of our archive in this software. I suppose the rest can be searched at Blogspot, if anyone is so inclined to look.

I’ll be doing updates as I can. I want to customize the look a bit, but I might just start with a canned template if I can find one I like. I have to figure out how Wordpress customization works.

So anyway, update your bookmarks! We’re all new and hopefully as interesting (HA x 3) as ever! :)

…Is this thing on?

Sorry we’ve been so quiet at the Coy Pond lately! Bruce has been crazy-busy, and I have been in pregnancy sickness haze. It has happened both times I’ve been pregnant — when I’m in the throes of misery, I just don’t feel like doing anything, especially anything creative. I just sit on the couch and whine, and have no energy to do anything at all. I’m coming out of it and have a lot to share, but first things first: we’re changing our blog format soon! We have some really great free blog software on our web server, and I have a little time now, so I think I want to customize it to make the Coy Pond a more unique place. So, I am hoping to move this blogger-blog to a different location on our server, so it can still be accessed as an ‘archive’.

Just a quick update: My pregnancy is progressing satisfactorily, although I’ve been sick a lot more (and for a lot longer) than I was when I was pregnant with Jarrod. My doctor has put in her bet; she is 75% sure we are having a girl this time. I’ll be OK with whatever, though it would be fun to have a girl. We’ll hopefully find out for sure on Monday, May 4, at our “big” ultrasound. I’ll be sure to post those pictures, whatever blog I have running by then… I promise!

We also have TONS of pictures to post: Jarrod’s birthday, Easter, trips to parks, etc. We promise to try to be better about keeping up! Back soon! :)
