Blog #500 plus one

Since blog #500 fell on St. Patrick’s Day, we decided to mark this noteworthy milestone one day afterwards. This seems fitting for a project that is by design approached simply one day at a time. It has been said that you can’t eat an elephant all at once, that it must be eaten one bite at a time. Big projects are like that, and this blog is no exception. If fact, had we conceived the scope of this exercise, one can only speculate if we would have been too intimidated to begin. But now updating the blog has become just one of the household chores like the laundry or dishes. For us, our family and friends, its value appreciates daily. We trust one day our twins will appreciate the efforts we make, and the occasional indignities we suffer in order to get them both looking and smiling at the camera.
