Finally...

I created this blog over the Easter weekend and I'm FINALLY taking the time to post something!! I'm planning to use this blog as a way to share pictures and updates on John, Kate, and me with our friends and family here in central Illinois and around the world.

In an effort to just get something on here, I'm not taking the time to make it look too pretty. I'll try to get better as time goes on.

So, here is our life in pictures since January 2011. Let me warn you - I take lots of pictures!!
