Where did the time go?

I can't believe it will be a year on Wednesday since we packed up the critters and all our worldly possesions (more or less) and made the big move to the little house.  Our first year was spent mostly trying to survive the first year, but from now on I hope to use this blog to keep track of what goes on here in the Northwoods and share our news and my thoughts with family and friends.  I'm a big believer in journaling; being able to go back and see what you were thinking and how you were faring in the past often helps to keep the present in perspective.  So in the next couple of days I'll try to sum up the last year, post some pictures of the place and figure out how this blogging thing works.
