Downtroden and heavyladen

Believe me, my intent has not been to neglect this blog. In fact, I have 9, yes 9, posts waiting to be finished! A couple of them date all the way back to July 4th weekend. You, see, I have this thing about having to put posts up in order. I know, it is silly, but it seems wrong to put up a post about Madelyn's birthday, which was a couple weeks ago, when I haven't put up a post about Momma Susan's awesome birthday, which was a couple MONTHS ago! Ahhh! I'll tell you what is slowing me down. First, I have this backlog of pictures that need to be sorted and tagged. Jointly, Ben's family (including Ben and I) took over 1000 pictures on our trip for Momma Susan's birthday. There are some really good ones (really great ones too!) but there are a lot of stinkers that need to be purged. Then, since then we have taken almost another 1000 pictures too. The joys of having a new camera. And I have been procrastinating.... So, now I am starting to feel the pressure of getting it done. I need hardrive space (yes, I predicted this problem) and I definitely need to get the events of the last couple of wonderful summer months recorded. So, yes, I will be working on getting my 9 posts done and published. However, heed this as a warning - they will start at July 4th weekend. and work their way to the present. There is some good stuff in there, so don't miss any of it!
