Welcome to the new family blog!

This is a post to the blog. Anyone who's a contributor (everyone in our family who's accepted the invitation to be one) can post, like this, to the blog. Then Chey or Shawn or Mom, or whoever can post a post like this (plus pictures if you want) and tell us all what's going on with them. That way they don't have to send an email to everyone. And the best part is that at the end of each year, or whenever, it really easy to print the whole thing--pictures and all--and it can be our family history/scrapbook for the year.

Then if you like something someone said in their post, or don't like it, or need to respond in some way, just use the little comments link at the bottom of that post, to say something in response. Or if you have something new to say about yourself or whats going on, or just something you want to tell everyone, post a new post like this, by going to www.blogger.com. If you've accepted the invitation to be a contributor, this blog will show up at the top of the page, and you can click the "New Post" link to begin writing your own new post like this one.

Hope everyone will use this (especially Shawnee, Cheye, and someone at home so we can know what's up with all of you). Oh and if you want friends to keep up with you, they can look at it too. They just can't post.

Oh and one more thing! You should all watch the trailer for this upcoming film called Nim's Island: http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/nimsisland/large.html
