Thoughts

I thought that last year would be our most blogged year of all time!
We even signed up for a real website domain name (www.TheAlstonFamily.com)

But it turned out to be our LEAST blogged year yet. A lot of that was because our Year of America didn't come with quite as much battery power and internet access as we originally expected. :/

I've also relied a lot more on Instagram and Snapchat this past year. They tend to be faster, and I can share photos at a glance versus spending a lot of time uploading and waiting for blog posts to publish.

There is a lot that I miss about the blog journal, though! It's always been a fun record of the kids and our family adventures in a storytelling way that you can't really save in other ways.

All that is a way of me saying that I've missed the blog and will work harder to make more time for it. :)

In the meantime, February has kept us quite busy preparing for Beth and Derek's wedding, which was last weekend!

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. McDonald!

We had so much fun celebrating and hope we'll continue to have a lot more fun pictures and things to share soon. :)
