Ta Ta.....for now at least

This post is long overdue.  My apologies to those who have been checking the blog for the past 6 weeks only to find it hasn't been updated. There are two main reasons for the lack of posts. 

1. Now that Claire is getting older and much more interactive (aka a little more tiring for Mommy), it's been a lot harder to find the time to keep up with the picture taking, uploading, editing, and blogging.  Besides that, Claire has been much harder to photograph.  She's constantly on the move and races for the camera as soon as she sees me pull it out (it's become one of her favorite toys...probably b/c it's on the no-no list).  The only way I can get a good pic of her is by letting her take them of herself....she just LOVES when i set the camera phone on self portrait so she can wave and say Hi to herself (I'm still not sure if she realizes it's her she's talking to or if she thinks it some other little girl that lives in my phone).  Regardless, here are what all of my pics have been looking like lately.

2.  The second and really true reason why I haven't updated is because the last time I finally got around to blogging, I couldn't.  Turns out, I hit my storage limit for pictures with the free blogspot account.  If I want to continue uploading pics, I have to upgrade my account for at least $2.50 a month. I know it's not a lot of money but with the issues I've been having trying to keep up with updating anyway, I might just be using it as an excuse to stay lazy.  

I'm really torn on whether or not I should take a hiatus on blogging.  On one side, I do stress over finding time to update with new posts. It's become a lot less enjoyable than it was in the beginning.  But on the other side, I love having this online memory book of all of our favorite times with our little lovebug.  I really don't know what to do.  I just can't bring myself to pay for something I'm not really sure I can keep up with right now.  If anyone knows of any way to get around the upgrade fee or how I can upload pics with my current storage limits...it would be greatly appreciated!!

Ok, enough babbling by me.  Just wanted to let all you know, that I'll likely be taking a little break from blogging.  (I have a feeling I'm going to miss it like crazy and will be back before you know it but for now at least...I'm taking a break).  If I'm not back to blogging, I do want to thank everyone who has been following the blog.  If none of you checked it, I would've given up a year ago and wouldn't have these wonderful memories to look back on so easily whenever I get bored or miss my little girl.  So THANK YOU!
