Welcome
June 13, 2006
You are now at my new website.
“But I didn’t type in a different url today? How can I be here?” you ask.
Dude, I don’t know. But my fabulous designer Emily,swankwebstyle.com knows. She is the one who bonked you on the head, rendered you unconscious, and dropped you here.
Change your bookmarks so we don’t have to go through the whole duct tape, kidnapping, throwing you in my trunk again. It’s exhausting, frankly.
I feel like when I brought my first baby home from the hospital. And I stared at him because he was so beautiful, but I had no idea what to do other than to stare. I was afraid that I would break him. Yes I did just compare my blog to my firstborn son.
The header photo is one from my dear friend and wonderful photographer Stacy her blog and amazing photographs can be found at Jurgen Nation
Come back later. Hopefully I will have a real post up by then and I will have had my fill of the staring. Also I hope to find the spell check. Surely there is a spell check? Because God knows that I would never win any Spelling Bees and if I am left to my own creative spelling devices,well let’s just say that it won’t be pretty.

June 13th, 2006 at 10:29 pmLOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! looks almost as good as your renovated house. But is not half as cute as your firstborn son. Will update. I promise.
June 14th, 2006 at 12:13 amHow fantastic, and the colors are great.
June 14th, 2006 at 2:06 amOooooh, it’s nice, love the colours, but I wish the entries were a bit wider?
Have of course bookmarked and will continue to enjoy.

June 14th, 2006 at 2:08 amgorgeous! very cool, even for someone who doesn’t like pink.
can you tell me, then, where I put the duct tape? I put it somewhere “safe”, and can’t find it.
June 14th, 2006 at 3:58 amCongrats on the redesign! I’m glad to see your archives present also.
(Might want to recheck your link to Jurgen Nation, as it currently includes your URL.)
June 14th, 2006 at 4:15 amHoly Schnitzel! I love it! PINK! PINK! PINK!
June 14th, 2006 at 4:42 amThis is a suprise!!! It’s pretty. I’ve updated my bookmarks so you can tell your henchman that’s one less to hit tomorrow.
June 14th, 2006 at 5:36 amI love it! I love the boxed-in entries. How easy to read.
June 14th, 2006 at 5:45 amChris - it’s just beautiful - Congrats on this new baby.
June 14th, 2006 at 5:47 amI loved the old picture of all your kids, but this page looks nice too. I am bad at making changes, but that of course is just me. Congratulations!
June 14th, 2006 at 6:01 amIt looks awesome. I love the pink accents.
June 14th, 2006 at 6:04 amChange is good…… but for a while I’ll miss the yellow wallpaper.
June 14th, 2006 at 6:06 amHOORAY! Congratulations, Chris!
June 14th, 2006 at 6:26 amChris, I love your new site. Love it, love it, love it!
June 14th, 2006 at 6:33 amYou are a brave woman to change, but it looks fantastic! I love the pink.
June 14th, 2006 at 6:34 amWow!
And ouch, duct tape…
June 14th, 2006 at 6:38 amNew site looks fabulous!
June 14th, 2006 at 6:51 amGoodbye blogger! Hello, pretty new wordpress blog!
I love it, woman! It really looks awesome.
June 14th, 2006 at 7:35 amIt looks great over here. And perhaps now that you’ve changed the address I’ll remember where you are. I’ve had your blog’s name changed on my page for ages, but because the address hadn’t changed half the time I couldn’t find you in my own blogroll. I’m dense like that sometimes.
June 14th, 2006 at 7:36 amLove the new layout! and the colors…………..((stare))
June 14th, 2006 at 7:38 amLove it! Very pretty!
June 14th, 2006 at 7:55 am**sniff** But yellow is my favorite color. What?? You don’t care? Couldn’t you just have another REAL baby?!? I hear that your hearing will still work. LOL!
Nah—it’s very nice. Congrats!
June 14th, 2006 at 8:00 amNew diaper! New diaper!
Woot!
June 14th, 2006 at 8:33 amNo, no, no!! Not pink! Not for the mother of six boys! I first found as the Big yellow house (yes, I know the house is really linen white) but I associate you with yellow, not this pinky stuff! YELLOW!! Please swap the pink for yellow.
June 14th, 2006 at 9:11 amYou got me there for a minute. I chalk it up to much needed sleep. However, I’m pretty sure here is not the place to be complaining about sleep, since I have WAY less kids than you.
Love it. Gorgeous.
June 14th, 2006 at 9:29 amOooo Emily is a goddess…I love her and love the new look!!!! Beautiful!
June 14th, 2006 at 10:04 amI love the new site! Beautiful!
June 14th, 2006 at 10:17 amWe’ve updated the link here–your new site is so well done! Congrats!
June 14th, 2006 at 10:42 amIt looks awesome! Congratulations!
June 14th, 2006 at 11:16 amI love it what a nice looking site!
June 14th, 2006 at 11:41 amI’m just getting acquainted but you make me laugh, so I’m back every day. I am IMPRESSED! Big change and well done. Even comes up faster (makes a difference when you’re on dial-up!).
June 14th, 2006 at 1:35 pmNew Bookmark…check. Congrats!
June 14th, 2006 at 6:29 pmLove it, looks great. I am a little confused though, um skandar says its PINK??? Am I color blind or has my computer gone haywire?? Isnt it a lavender color? Anyways,looks awesome. bookmarked-check!
June 14th, 2006 at 7:35 pmI thought I was the only one, but Heather pointed out what I was shy to say…I also see a very light purple color…no pink…
June 14th, 2006 at 8:11 pmI’ll say it again…totally gorgeous.
Wordpress doesn’t have spell check, but you can download a plug-in for it.
I spel wors then u.
June 18th, 2006 at 9:24 amYour blog looks great!
I recently switched from blogger to WP and had the same fear of breaking it for at least a full day.
June 19th, 2006 at 6:57 amOh, wow, two things I love - Wordpress and Chris, together at last. Oh, by the way, just in case you use Firefox for your browser you can download a kick-ass spell checker that works on every webpage you visit, even places like the comment box on other blogs. You can find it here. I don’t know what I’d do without it.
