The Girls' Blogs

I have restricted access to the girls' blogs to authors only (that would be me, but I added John to the list as well.) I set up Caroline's blog shortly after she was born to allow out-of-town family to watch her grow. It has evolved into her baby book, really, since I am not a scrapbooker. I love putting new pictures of the girls on the blog, and I really enjoy looking back over the past weeks, months, years remembering. It was meant to be fun and to bring joy. It is not meant to create more work for me. I'm mom to a new baby and am not taking on additional tasks right now. It is not meant to be a competition for who is featured in the most pictures. And it is not meant to hurt feelings.

I'll continue to update the blog, but it will be visible only to me and John and serve as a memory album for our family. I have enjoyed sharing pictures with you these past almost four years. If you want to see them, come visit us! Perhaps I'll be able to open them up again someday.

We use ours as a scrapbook of sorts too and I am always verifying there is a backup done on it :)

I understand the competition thing. It is hard because you really want to feature the cutest picture of your child and sometimes it happens to be with the right people and sometimes not.

Thanks for sharing. Your baptism pictures brought back such wonderful memories.

    SO MANY JOYS, like all good titles, has multiple meanings. My life is filled with joy. Motherhood is filled with joy. And my family is filled with Joyces! My grandmothers, born Joyce B. and Joyce Fay, began the naming tradition. My mother, Velda Joyce, carried it on and passed it on to me, Amanda Joyce. Our fourth generation of Joyces includes my daughter Caroline Joyce and my nieces Megan Joyce and Sophia Joyce.


    The joy of the Lord is my strength!
