The best laid plans

I had such big plans for my maternity leave. I was going to read novels…watch indie movies…try out recipes that require more than 30 minutes…send out regular witty yet unpretentious updates on Avery. Alas, perhaps obvious to everyone but an optimistic first-time mom like me, none of those things came to pass. (I can hear all you other moms snorting with laughter.) Now my leave is over (sob!) and I don’t think I’ll ever get to that stack of books or all those movies in my Netflix queue that Chris has no desire to watch. And I still can’t seem to get it together to send out pictures or updates on Avery often enough that the first ones in the series aren’t totally out of date. So…here I am, joining the 21st century with this blog. Hopefully it will enable me to post more frequent updates and thus not bombard everyone on my e-mail list with thousands of pics. More focused content. Quality over quantity. That’s the plan, anyway. We’ll see how long it lasts.
