Starting Out

This weekend I was in VA for a mother/daughter event. Friday night, over dinner, the conversation turned to blogging. "I'm not a blogger, " I announced proudly. "Why not?" many chimed in. "Because I'm an introvert by nature and I can't imagine that anyone would be interested in what I have to say." (You see, that is a true introvert. We are intrigued that the extroverts have so much to say and can easily keep a conversation rolling while we introverts have our standard 5 questions and once we have the answers to those, then the conversation turns to awkward silence. However, I am always intrigued by the extroverts conversation, but I always wonder how they are so self-assured to think that everyone is interested in their continuous stories). Back to dinner. A new friend that I had just met that day let me know she was also an introvert, but LOVED to blog. It gave her an avenue to keep up with family and friends from a distance. Ah-hah...and their lay my reason. Claire is 17 months old and is a barrel of fun right now. Doing and saying so many new things daily. But, I hate talking on the phone. And even if I enjoyed telephone conversations, I don't always have the time to call both sides of our family. As a girl, I always keep my mom and sister updated, but what about Bill's family. Well, here lies the answer...I'm blogging. So please check back now and then for new stories and pictures of Claire, updates on the new house and general information about The Cato House!!!
