Happy New Year & Private Blog

Happy New Year! It’s actually the 2nd here already, we’re way ahead of you down under! I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year’s Eve and that 2010 brings happiness and employment to everyone that needs/wants it.

As it is a new year, I thought this would be a good time to take the blog private. There are so many weird people out there that I just feel more comfortable knowing who has access to photos of our daughter and information about our lives. All previous posts have already been protected and I won’t be sharing that password. But all future posts will have a new password and I am happy to share it with those of you that would like to keep reading our blog and that I “know” to some extent.

Sorry, but if I don’t know you and you don’t have a blog, I won’t be sharing the password. If you would like to keep reading, please leave a comment with your email address so that I can reply to the comment with the password for you. I won’t be automatically sending the password to anyone (except family), so you’ll need to tell me if you want it. If you don’t have time or don’t want to keep reading, then just don’t ask for the password. I won’t be offended!

I’ll try to reply ASAP to all requests. Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year to you! Loving the new set up. I’d love to continue following your journey!! Although, I’ll totally admit – I am not as good as keeping up with things these days as I used to.

    Also — a quick note. I think of you 3 everytime we watch Jack’s Big Music Show — I remember the blog post with a video of Boo featuring one of our favorite episodes “freeze freeze freeze”. Well, it’s Mel’s Super Dance Party — but you know what I mean!!

    You know I have considered going private. However I haven’t blogged in two months so what’s the point. However I hope to do better at documenting things in 2010. I would love to have your password so I can keep up with the three of you. Happy New Year.

    Hi Chandra, I would love to follow your blog. It has been so helpful as we travel soon to bring home our Asian Beauty Maura from Novokuznetsk, Russia (Feb). loganbrown4@yahoo.com

    Hi Chandra,

    I’ve been following your blog for a while, do not comment very often though. I lived in four different countries in my life and can totally relate to your multi-national family. I was born and raised in Ukraine, so your adventures in Russia while adopting a little one were what attracted me to your blog at first. But after the first encounter with Boo she just kept me coming back for more. :)

    I got a little lazy and stopped updating my blog a few months back, but I am listing my address anyways. I hope that you can send me your new password. You gave me your old password a while back. I look forward to following your life with Boo. She is too much!!!
