Next week I am going to make this site "Password Protected." I have thought a great deal about this, and I think that because I have so many photos and so many names, places, dates, etc. on it, that making it a protected site would be a good thing. This is NOT intended to keep anyone from reading this site as there is truly no one I would want not to be reading it, so please, if you enjoy reading the site, for whatever reasons, just send me an email and I will be happy to give you the password so that you can keep reading. I would ask that you keep the password to yourself and refer others to the site by having them also ask me for the password.
When I first began this blog, it was for family and friends as a way to keep in touch and share bits and pieces of our lives with those who knew us. It is great to need only write something once instead of many separate emails! We soon became a sizable network of bloggers and it seems to be growing daily. I enjoy very much the others who have taken up the blogging ways, so I don't want to discourage anyone from reading my own. There are many of the children who like to read about Matt and Alex and they like to see their own names and photos on the blog, so it is for them that I would like to have the site protected.
Thank you so much for understanding. Please, feel free to email your request of the password. I enjoy very much reading all your emails to me with comments and bits of shared info...you can never have too many friends!
NOTE: Many complaints from everyone on this password thing...so I am removing it for the time being. The kids, especially, liked being able to tell their friends to look at their photos and were requested not to give the password, etc., so we all decided that we would forego the password deal unless it seems prudent to add it in the future.
