What made you decide to post pictures of yourself and your family on your blog? as well as why or why have you decided to not say the names of the members of your family?
I have so much to share in my life and trying to code names, or not show pictures of my progress is a little hard. Yet this is the internet and I am not sure how I feel about putting my family out there.
Thank you for your input

Things are looking up
I finally got an offer for a job. Let me start by saying that I was fired from my job a year ago November, so I am very grateful for this opportunity to get back into working. It deffinately is not my dream job, and I am still looking for something more 9-5 Monday through Friday, but I am very happy to not be worried about congress extending unemployment.
Our daughter is getting closer and closer to being two and boy can you tell. She is becoming ever more independent and even more strong willed. I see now how strong of a woman she will be, and how much work she is going to put us through. But I wouldn't have it any other way. We also have noticed that we are having to hold strong to our rules and not give in for one offs. The biggest hurdle we have is our daughters addiction to her "bubba" (pacifier), she is a total addict, lets put it this way when she goes to bed she has three she sleeps with, one for her mouth and one in each hand. Well in the past when she was tiered or we were going to snuggle on the couch and watch a movie we would allow her to have it, however now any time she has a shoo on she starts demanding the bubba. Time to crack back down to bubba only in bed. This will be a hard struggle especially when we start the weening process.
We are starting to plan for her birthday and this is so difficult. We have so much family and friends (that we are so grateful for this problem) that last year on her first birthday it was a mess of gifts and people. This year we were thinking of splitting up and having a friends and family separate, but then its hard to plan two parties. So we decided to just have it all together in one area that the kids can run and play and there will be beer to help calm the nerves. Wish us luck with this.
I am still trying to get into the habit of posting as much as I read.

Where do I start
I had originally started this blog as a way to reach out to other lesbian moms and share stories. Well I found so many already out there that it really was great to compare and contrast.
So our daughter Casey was born March 14th 2010 and she is/was beautiful. The birth was great and she was an amazing baby. She has fit into our family perfectly, going with the flow and being a social butterfly just like us. I went back to work after three and a half months and then 5 months later I was fired. It was really a blessing in disguise, I have the opportunity to finish my degree and spend time with my family I love every bit.
It has been more of a challenge being more of a stay at home mom but we get out and play at her daycare with my friend and are having a great time learning about each other. Now that I am unemployed we have put a delay on having a second child as soon as we planned before and we are happy about that. It is really fun getting to know Casey and allowing her to have time to herself just being a little person before we add another into the mix, especially with our high chances of multiples, and I couldn’t be happier.
Lately I have been researching heavy into something that I have been interested in for a while now and that is surrogacy. Reading so many different blogs really makes me feel closer to this cause. I cant wait to give the joy of parenting to another deserving couple. With reading all of these surro mom blogs then got me into looking at other moms blogs and reminded me that I really need to try to stick to this.
So here I go again, I will keep trying this blog thing out, I love the concept, I just hope that I can keep up with it.
