Just because I can’t even remember the last time I shared of picture of the dog.

Remember that beautiful new website I had.  The one that I just loved.  My Blu site that I raved about.  Yeah that stupid thing.  The honeymoon is over.

When I was in the market for a website I did my research.  BluDomain was the new up and coming site for professional photographers.  They had a bit of a bad wrap that everyone played off to the challenge of unexpected publicity and an influx in business that they weren’t prepared for.  The price was great and the websites beautiful so I decided to go ahead and give them a try.  Everything had been great.  That was until this.  This is what my days have consisted of lately.  This big ugly error message.

I made sure my browsers were updated, my flash, my java, everything.  I put in a trouble ticket.  They updated my site and messed up the sizing of my pictures.  I still got this message.  They told me I needed to update my Flash…well I already did that.  Then nothing.  I haven’t heard a word back from them.  They put me on the do not reply list.  It’s been a week since my last contact from them.  I have sent messages, I have opened up a new trouble ticket, I have emailed their customer service.  No one will get back with me.  My website works sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t.  That sometimes makes me look unprofessional and I can’t have that.  It’s embarrassing to have a customer tell you that they can’t access your website, especially when they are trying to pay you money.  Apparently BluDomain doesn’t care.  They are great until you have a problem then the just ignore you.  So I am done.  I am moving on.  Even the free service I have been getting because they have been too unorganized to remember to bill me isn’t worth it.  I am tired of trying to figure out how to fix this problem on my own.

Today I purchased a new website.  What does that mean?  A lot of change.  I have to set up a new website.  I have to set up my LCP Blog again, which is a time consuming task.  This site…well there will be a change here too.  I am not sure what yet exactly but this blog will have to be moved somewhere too.  I have to figure out how to get all of my old posts to move along with these changes.  Although since I am getting free service and all this blog may just stay put for the time being.  I only have two and a half weeks left before my computer makes a very long and slow journey accross the ocean.  And I have two kids who don’t want me to do anything that requires attention away from them.  Wish me luck!

Now, off to read American Literature.  That is just about as much fun as this has been.

Happy birthday to my baby sister!  I hope that you have a wonderful day!  Next year we are going to Chipotle for lunch!

It is time for me to get back into the swing of things.  I have had my 6 weeks of relaxing and lounging around the house right?  Or more like 6 weeks of sleepless nights of feedings and diaper changes and sleep deprived days of chasing a jealous 2 year old around the house.  At any rate it’s time to get back to the fun stuff.  You know like getting dressed instead of wearing my pjs all day, keeping the house clean again, laundry and cooking dinner for my family.  Part of the joy in my life is photography and I love the blog and keeping everyone entertained updated on what is going on with us.  To get my blogging routine back into gear I am doing a challenge.  A post a day for the month of July.  All my blogger friends are playing too.  You can follow along with them here:

Let the fun begin!

Today Wee Man from MTV’s Jackass was here on post. Unfortunately he didn’t do anything exciting. I kept waiting for him to hop into a shopping cart and do something crazy but no suck luck for us. Darn!

Can you believe that Gavin is 5 weeks old already?  He has already changed so much in such a short period of time.  He has grown, a lot.  Riley is still trying to adjust to having to share the attention.  She loves Gavin.  She gives him hugs and kisses every night before she goes to bed.  She plays with all of his toys.  She just doesn’t like sharing mommy and daddy.  It’s getting better though, slowly but surely, it’s getting better.

Okay, this should have been posted a long time ago but to be honest I forgot all about it.

Back in the end of April there was a Community Wide Baby Shower.  It was really more of a fair with lots of information for new moms and they gave away a bunch of free prizes.  The post newspaper was there to take pictures and they snapped this shot of Riley and I.  They missed the real action though.  This doll that you see in the picture weighs as much as a newborn does.  Pam was attempting to show Riley how you are supposed to hold a baby.  Shortly after this Riley grabbed the baby by the head and started running around the gym.

And this lady, Pam.  She is awesome!  She is part of the New Parent Support Group and she has come out to the house a couple of times since Gavin has been born and she has been helping us out a lot with learning all kinds of new things.  She has given us some suggestions on helping Riley to get adjusted to have a new baby in the house.  She has even brought videos such as The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block.

This is what happens when Riley plays in her room.  How can this be my daughter?  She must get this from her father.

For those who haven’t seen it yet.  Here is Gavin’s birth annoucement made by your truely!
