So, on January 27th, 2010, I published my very first blog post. Back then I had a blogspot.com address and had no idea what I was doing. Sometimes I still don’t feel like I know what I’m doing, but I’ve gotten a little better at this blogging thing (maybe?).

A lot has changed in the last four years. Here’s a look at our lives, then and now.

Then:

We had three kids, Henry (3), Ivy (1), and Essie (baby)

Now:

We have four, Henry (8), Ivy (6), Essie (4), and Ervin (2)

Then:

The oldest two were extremely close and loved dressing up.

The oldest three are super close (especially the girls) and they all dress up.

Then:

I talked a lot about poop (and with two toddlers and a baby, who wouldn’t?).

Now:

I mostly keep the poop talk to myself. You’re welcome.

Then:

I was blondish with short hair.

I’m brunette-ish with bangs.

Then:

I was married to this guy (the tall one).

Now:

I’m still married to that guy.

Then:

I had some…er…baby weight to lose. (To be fair, I was actually “with child” again shortly after starting the ol’ blog)

Now:

I’ve (thankfully) lost the bab(ies) weight.

We’ve come a long way, baby.
