Learning to Leap

So I have finally done it. I have started a site for myself. I spent quite a while on this-designing over and over as one does when one repeatedly forgets to hit the "save changes" button. I am not quite set on the title picture setup. I wanted the picture to be smaller so I could put a recent picture of gabriel to the right of the baby picture. AMY-please let me know how to do that. Overall, I think the layout is not too bad.

Since the title is "We Gave Up Sleeping", I thought the overall layout and colors should be soothing to the tired eye since I will only be able to do something with it once Gabriel is sleeping. I extend many thanks to my Mom since she tired Gabriel out so much tonight that he went to bed at 7:30 thus allowing for the creation of this masterpiece. Normally he prefers to stay up and party with Mommy and Daddy till after 9PM. This severely curtails computer time (for me, not him).

I wanted a title that I would not have to change later. Comments on this are invited. I wanted a snappy title and I am glad that my initial choice was taken. It was an uninteresting "He We Are". I thought of "We Gave Up Sleeping" sitting in the dark with Gabriel as he drooled on my shoulder. Since I have already given up sleeping, when the brood increases I can change the pictures and keep the title because I will not have the energy to make up a whole new site.

Since it is time to clean up the second floor, that's it for today. I hope I can keep it up.

Welcome to the blogging world! You'll have to keep it up now, because I'll be checking it constantly for new goodies. I'm excited you decided to take the dive. I'll help you with whatever I can.

(ps: your link to "Got a Question" goes to Nikki's blog.)

Oh, and I meant to say that I love the title of your blog. When I read the link in the email, I started laughing!

Yeah, you are officially a blogger. Now, I hope you realize that paybacks are a bitch.. you better keep this up or I might harass you for a post. I love the title and it looks great!! You can play with that and change it as often as you wish! I know some blogger change theirs with the holidays and seasons! (Not me)I will bookmark this and check often!

Amy wins the prize for the first viewing and commentary. I think I fixed everything. We are in the process of moving rooms around on the second floor and the computer has successfully made the move; we are up and running. The most important thing is that we did not wake up Gabriel (yet).

I think "Being Cute is a Full Time Job" is a good title for this blog.

That kid has to be the cutest in the whole world but I could be biased. ;)

I heard he is going to be partying like a rock star for New Year's Eve with a few of his cool cousins. That's going to be awesome and I'm sure will result in plenty of new fodder for the blog.

I like the title because I gave up sleeping for this post.
