An Introduction.

Dear friends.

It's almost embarrassing to think about the blog I began a year ago. Especially when some of you have been so consistent and dedicated to your blogs -- it's admirable. I need to take a moment just to admire you.

I think there are multiple reasons why my blog failed. One, I'm terrible at being concise. Any time I wrote something, it took all evening. I need to learn how to communicate in brief. Another thing: lack of direction. Those of you whose blogs I look up daily -- you all seemed to have a better reason to put words down than I did. And finally, it just got awkward. At least in my mind. Whenever I would get the itch to post, I'd end up feeling sheepish about all the times I hadn't posted -- so I'd just avoid my blog entirely.

So this new blog could be understood as a mid-year resolution, I suppose. Though I'm hesitant to commit to anything, since my world is turning upside down soon.

My hope is that, with a direction, a purpose, I'll be able to be much better at staying in touch. Everything needs a telos, after all.

So the purpose of this blog is simple: to show off my baby. Obviously.

No, but really, I'd like to be able to keep some record of our days here in Los Angeles. (I can't believe we've lived here for more than a year!) Our life is so blessed, so full of love, that I want to share it with the people I love -- all you people so far-off. Our days are about to change drastically -- they are changing drastically. These days, I even have a hard time guessing if I'll fit through a small space. It's starting to be more difficult.

So this blog is meant to be a record -- a record of my first pregnancy, of the first days of this little person we're calling Tiny, of our lives and our loves.

Welcome.
