Today marks a milestone for our little blog, as this is our 2,500th post! To say life has changed since our very first blog entry would be an understatement – back then we were breathlessly awaiting the arrival of our baby (“This is crunch time and we are all getting very excited,” Q wrote on Oct. 27, 2006); these days we’re busy chasing after and managing the lives of two spirited young girls. Q and I have been parents for nearly 3,000 days, and I’m so proud that we’ve chronicled our adventures here. As I wrote in 2012:

For me, five-plus years after starting this thing, I can’t really imagine life without it. Posting quickly became part of my daily routine, and the blog, in turn, wound up serving not only as a  bridge to loved ones far away, but also as a journal, a confidante, and (perhaps most significant to my kids someday) a rich family archive. Writing in it has saved my sanity countless times, and reading old entries has brought me out of a dark mood more than once; though I probably can’t be called a new mom anymore (something that is simultaneously a badge of honor and a little sad), blogging still helps my well-being!

Here’s to 2,500 more!
