Welcome to our new family blog. Many of you have been visiting our old "4bazocs" family site for over the past 6 years...and well if you haven't noticed...I am still newly pregnant on the home page! 4bazocs.com was lovingly designed by my wonderful husband, Aren...who started it with the efforts to update all of our family and friends on how our lives were with our sweet Payton. Ironically...or not so ironically, prior to Payton's birth, Aren had taught himself the website programming from a book. When Payton was born and there was so much to keep family and friends up to date on...he decided it was a great way to share with everyone who wished to know how she was doing. It was amazing...a gift he created...to share about our lives and to show pictures to family and friends far away. Over the years it has remained a site to honor Payton, but also to share about Avery and of course a little of Ben. Aren did such an amazing job with the site...we are sad to let it go...but the upkeep of the site is too much work with our busy little lives. Poor Ben has hardly made an appearance on it! Hopefully this little blog will be more manageable. I have to say I am a little resistant to modern day technology...and almost find myself snickering at the fact that "I" have a blog....but I would love to have a place to keep distant family and friends up to date on the kiddos...and then again I have always been a journaler...so I can almost see myself using this thing. Only time will tell. Enjoy and welcome!
