The first is obvious. We changed the look of the blog. We needed a new look. Enjoy it while it last. I may just have an itch to change it often.
And then the best news of the day (well yesterday) is John’s brother David (and his wife Amanda) welcomed their first baby to their family. Little Olivia Kristine (great name, don’t you think?) was born yesterday. We are super excited for them. I stole a picture off their blog so here is a picture of the happy family.
Congratulations. Wish we lived closer so we could hold her and see her red hair in person.

Wynne,
Yes, templates is correct. There are ton of cool templates out there now. In fact, the biggest problem is choosing which one to use.

Love the new look! Whenever I can figure it out, I need to go look for a new one myself. The blue background is such a lovely color….

This new look for your blog is awesome! But beware… once you start finding all these awesome new templates it can be hard to decide!

Lisa,
Why do you think we’ve never changed it before? So many choices that it was just easier/better to just stick with what we had.

I like the new look! It’s been awhile since I’ve checked in and at first I thought I was at the wrong place. Glad to be back and seeing what you guys are up to.
