As Kate mentioned recently, time has been a scarce commodity in the Campbell household. I’d like to use that as my excuse for not posting an update or two. However, that’s just not the case. I’ve had time to watch movies, play video games, and catch some football on the weekends. I certainly could have chosen to blog instead of doing any one of those things, but I didn’t.

Is it a lack of subject matter to write about? Anybody who reads this blog knows that I have all the subject matter I could possibly want inherent in the two little balls of cuteness that roll around my house on a daily basis. They’re actually both walking now. So I guess I should say two little balls of cuteness walking around my house. Simon still prefers to crawl, but he’s definitely got the capability to walk. It’s only a matter of time before he perfects it.

But I digress. Blogging has just been . . . unappealing. That’s the only way I can describe it. When faced with sitting down to write an entry, it just feels too darn much like work for me to go through with posting. I don’t really have a grand conclusion that I’ve drawn from this realization, I just felt the need to share with my blogging public. And make amends with a picture of the two things that I know everybody comes here for anyway. He doesn’t love us like this:

As of Saturday, Simon is officially one year old. This means a lot of things, but most importantly for readers of this blog, it means all his pictures on Flickr will be marked as “Friends & Family only”. I know it’s a pain in the ass to register with Flickr and then ask us to set you up as our friend and/or family, but there are too many strange people on the Internet, and we’re a little paranoid. Not as paranoid as my mom (hi mom!), but paranoid enough.

Unfortunately that also means that the pictures up top will not show Simon pictures that we’ve taken. I’ll have to investigate and see if there’s anything I can do about that.
