Getting back to blogging

"The Tomato Journey," was posted well over 14 months ago and while yes a lot has been happening since then it is still a bit embarrassing that we've let the blog slip so far down the list of "things we really need to get to."

BUT, we've made a commitment to be better (that's the first step right?, making a grand proclamation). We've made some improvements to the design of the blog and added a way to subscribe by email (see widget on right).

While 14 months is a really long time here are a few highlights:

September 18, 2010--Made it official













October 3, 2010--Returned from our amazing honeymoon in Spain











Then there was the first holiday season as "The Laurs," which was a fantastic series of dinners and parties with family and friends. In January we learned that we were EXPECTING our first baby and have spent the last 9 months preparing for his arrival. We're naming him Charles Patrick Laur, after both of grand fathers (Charlie and Chic) and my dad (Pat). More posts to come on the experiences of preparing for his arrival!

Also, in 2011 we've been a part of several of our friends' and families' fantastic wedding celebrations. YAY for weddings :)
