A note from Dad

I'd like to point out that this blog will be a somewhat different format than the previous Buzzy Baby Blog. That blog was created purely for baby related information and when Buzzy Baby number 2 comes along (don't ask, it isn't any time soon) we'll start that blog back up.

For this blog we want to broaden our subject matter to include all aspects of the family. We'll still post plenty of Ben updates including pictures, videos, and the like but we'll also do our best to write about family gatherings, family outings, food, music, and anything else worth writing about. What you won't find here is a daily journal about what we do day in and day out. No one wants to read about boring routine stuff like work, feeding Ben, or changing Ben (which is pretty much all we do these days). You want to hear about the fun stuff we get to do when we're not doing the routine stuff.

Another thing about this blog is that there are a lot of links and things in the sidebar columns to the left and right that we encourage you to check out often. To the left we have links to our photo albums and youtube channel. You can subscribe to those separately if you like so that you know when new material has been added. On the right is a snippet view of our family Twitter account that will give you an idea of what we're up to at that particular moment. For those of you that don't know what Twitter is you should do a quick google search. Very cool service that is a lot of fun to use. Those of you that use twitter should follow @raisingabuzz so you can be the first to know when a new post has been written or our family is doing something cool.

We'll be adding plenty of other things to the site as more people begin using it and as we figure out exactly what we're going to use it for. For now, enjoy the videos and pictures and check back often for updates and fun new stuff!
