My husband's advice



Dan, the one who doesn't quite get the whole blogging thing, checked out my blog and was surprisingly restrained. I actually kind of missed the whole mocking thing, but the relative silence was a bit unnerving. I wasn't disappointed for long though. An article SILENTLY appeared on the bed the other day. It discussed the questionable safety of mom/dad blogs. Hum.
Thanks Dan.



Dan also VERBALLY suggested that I add more photos of myself. The problem with that is I'm usually behind the camera instead of in front because I love my digital NIKON so much (a VERY big and WONDERFUL Christmas surprise from Dan a year or so ago). I take so many photos that once in a while Dan feels obligated to take a photo with me in it. This action is his insurance policy, the "let me get a photo of you so you cannot mock me for your glaring absence in our family photo albums" kind of insurance policy.



I thought, o.k., maybe I'll insert one photo of myself. It would be nice to show off my dear husband's photographic talents. So, I went through some of the recent photos and I found to two PERFECT photos. The first photo, the one at the beginning of this posting, is one I took. We were up early to enjoy the sunrise one morning on our trip. Don't Dan and Alex look awesome? Dan then said, let me take one.
Here it is!!! What do you think? Is this another SILENT statement from Dan? What is he really trying to say by taking this photo?

P.S. Fine, he really does take some great shots (and is an amazingly fabulous husband). It was just TOO tempting to let this "shot" go!
P.P.S. The article was on deseretnews.com March 24, 2008 and is called "Mom blogs-Does posting photos online jeopardize your family?"

Hillarious!! I laughed out loud when I scrolled down to see the last photo.

OK I want to read the article that silently appeared on your bed. You should post it or something.....:)

Also, I have a little compassion for Dan on the subject of you not being in many of the photos. Speaking from personal experience, it is pretty difficult to come up with a photo of you that passes your inspection. Although this one really is unacceptable... :)

Hmmm...I'm interested in that article now, too.

Well, I am crack'n up! Maybe he was just paying attention to your great body! I love the look on Alex's face. What a shot.

p.s. Do I want to read the article? I am having so much fun with this blogging adventure. You might need to help keep me safe!
