The End

When I started this blog two and half years ago, I really had no idea what I was doing. I could barely upload pictures, let alone apply cool backgrounds or import videos. My goals were to find a way to keep family and friends up-to-date on our second adoption and to use this blog as virtual scrapbook, hoping to preserve all the moments I knew I'd never document in a photo album or baby book.

A lot has changed since my first post. We've brought Aidan home and learned to balance the needs of two children with our own. A little thing Chris still likes to call "The Facebook" took off, allowing us more control over who sees the kids' pictures and stories online. Blogging for me has become less of a scrapbook and more of a place to share my experiences as a parent and connect with an amazing online community of mothers I otherwise wouldn't have met.

So today, as we celebrate Aidan's 2nd Family Day, it seems like an appropriate time to write my last post on Creating Our Family. I'll be posting pictures and everyday happenings on Facebook, so follow us there if seeing pictures of the boys is the highlight of your week :) In addition, I will still be blogging over at the blog I started this summer, I Spy A Family. I've so enjoyed sharing a little bit of our lives with you and hope you will all continue to follow along on my other blog.

And since I believe every one of life's milestones should end with a slide show, I leave you with this:

I will miss this blog... On to bigger and better things though! :)

I can't believe how little the boys are in the beginning of that video. Time flies.

I love how you called this a virtual scrapbook. That is EXACTLY how I view my own, too, but you said it much better. I'm so glad you will be keeping up with I Spy, and I will be following along with you over there :)

Happy family day! I completely understand the shift from the one blog to the other... We are doing the same sort of thing. :)
