Let’s get started
by HML
I’ve been meaning to start up a blog since last summer, but haven’t had the time to sit down and set it up just the way I would like … keep getting distracted by one thing or another:

One Thing (or Thing One, if you prefer), just turned eleven and is finishing up fifth grade. He also received his Arrow of Light award and is starting Boy Scouts. He is getting pretty good on the cello after nearly two years of lessons at school, and loves his after-school art classes. Since he’s been around for a while, most of his fan club know what he’s been up to, thus there isn’t much to write about him by way of introduction.

Another Thing (aka Thing Two) hadn’t quite been born yet when I decided to blog, and now he has just turned nine months old. He has recently learned how to crawl, pull up to stand, and wave bye-bye.
His interests include soft things and chewing on whatever he can find around the house.
GimletBlog will be mostly a record of family activities and observations, with a few extra rambling thoughts thrown in from time to time. Rather than overwhelm the reader with introductions and explanations, I’ll begin in medias res. Have fun, and don’t say you haven’t been warned about sharp, pointy sticks!
