I’d like to thank everyone who’s stopping by to my little shindig that is Beanish and Other Languages I’m Learning via the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by Five Minutes for Mom . (By the way, congratulations to Susan and Janice on their pregnancies! How exciting!) Anway, I’ve been blogging for almost a year now, but just moved over to WordPress about a month ago. I’m settling in nicely and enjoying my new digs quite a bit.
My soon to be two year old daughter, M, is my main bloggity topic, although, I’m finding myself branching out into other directions as well. My little blog started as a way to keep far away family up to date on my daughter as she grows. We live quite a distance from almost all of our extended family, and it seemed like the best way to share all the beanishly wonderful moments of her life. We also have weekly webcam visits with both sets of grandparents. Yes, my child is already attuned to this technologically connected world in which we live.
Here’s a little about her premature arrival into our lives 8 1/2 weeks early and weighing only 2 pounds and 11 ounces. It’s still a work in progress that I’m hoping to have finished up soon. Obviously, the story has a wonderful outcome since you can see here and here how she’s doing today.
In case you’e wondering about the title, here’s a little explanation on where it came from.
Here’s a photo of us on our vacation to Gulfshores, Alabama last year.
If you click on the photo, it won’t be fuzzy when it comes up. Although, I certainly feel that way a good many days.
Sometimes I’m serious and sometimes I’m boring. Hopefully, I’m a little humorous here, there and yonder. But whatever I am, I hope that everyone enjoys stopping by and will come again.

Stopping by for your party! We spent 6 months in the NICU with our last child, Gus. He was only 5 weeks early but he had a lot of gut issues. I’ve enjoyed my visit here!

Hey! Your little girl is a cutie :) Kids are so fun. My 3 and 6 year old kids are obsessed with phones. I can’t count the times that I have had to call my own cell phone to try and locate it. It’s the only reason we keep a land line in our home :D

I think a lot of bloggers started to keep in touch with distant family. I may have not started that way, but it’s turned into one of the reasons I blog.
It’s been a fun way to meet new bloggers and to connect with those who we haven’t talked to in a while.

Hi! Just stopping by on my party tour and I enjoyed your party post. I love the picture from Gulf Shores – we used to be stationed in Pensacola with the Navy, so we were fond of Gulf Shores ourselves.
Thanks for letting me visit – your daughter is lovely!
Come by my party if you get the chance.
