I try my best with this blog. I really do. At first it started out as a way to let our friends and family know of all our adventures of parenting twins. I quickly learned that it was a great way to preserve all the little stories of our lives as these little two grew up in front of us. For the past three years, I have dutifully blogged throughout most weeks and at the end of each year, have put their blog into print using a cool company I found online (Blog2print..check it out!)
These are the first three and I have two of each - one for each of them for when they grow up. I plan on doing this for as long as I can. What better way to preserve all the little things we forget over time, those that make raising children so wacky and fun.
As some of you know (and some of you may not), last November in an attempt to make room for more picture storage on the blog, I accidently erased the whole blog. Well, at least all the pictures I had posted..EVER...FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. At first, after realizing what I had done, I froze and then tears started to come. But then I realized, that while the first three years were no longer visible online, I had them in hardcopy...and I started to feel a bit better. But then I realized I was almost to the end of 2012, and I hadn't ordered the 2012 book yet. This meant that I would have to slowly "re-blog" all of 2012. It really meant reposting all the pictures to the correct blog posts. I had all the pictures on my laptop, it would just take some time. It has been a long five months. And after 182 recovered blog posts, I am thrilled to announce that 2012 has been fully restored and the 2012 books were ordered tonight.
I let Liliana look through some of the books this evening. She got such a kick out of them. It was a lot of work, but no amount of work is too much to recapture lost memories.
