Blogger vs. Facebook

One of the reasons I often avoid posting/updating the blog is because it takes FOREVER to upload pictures into and I have little to no patience with it.  And I honestly don't have a lot of time to sit and do that.  Poor excuse, I won't deny.  But the fact is, I can download a couple HUNDRED pictures into Facebook within minutes.... and blogger allows FIVE to be updoaded at a time and it takes several minutes to load each of those few.  Again, very time consuming and frustrating. And when a person takes hundreds of pictures of their kid (who us?) on a regular basis, there are a lot of things to post!  Blogger has never been a user friendly format-  even typing a post is difficult because there is only a very small window to type in.

The nice thing is, Facebook does provide a link to those photo albums so I can post that link here.  It allows people to see the pics while still keeping my Facebook account private. 

AND.... as I have discovered tonight-  blogger has FINALLY made some much needed changes.  All of those things I just griped about, have been fixed.  Selecting pictures and uploading them is MUCH faster and the window for typing a post is now a realistic size-  like a word document now.  I am sooo happy with these changes!!  I often feel so bad because I don't keep this blog updated as often as I should.  It has taken me less time to go through 4 or 5 months of pictures and create updated posts than ever before-  I was able to do in about 2 hours what previously would have taken several!

So I am going to post some links to the Facebook albums here.  I still have several other things to update everyone in and a couple more months of pics to sort through.  But at least I have filled in a lot of stuff already!!

These are from 2 months ago- just some nice pics outside:

Also about 2 months ago-  Marissa is Caelan's friend.  She is the daughter of the people who used to keep Caelan- so the two of them spent two years together.  Marissa is in several other pics from other years but anyway-  since I quit work, they don't see each other as often and have missed each other.  So I picked her up for a play date one day and they had so much fun!

The next two sets require a little explanation-  we FINALLY found a church home after looking for over 7 years.  It is a brand new church that just started in January and we love it!  I will explain more about the church and provide a link to their website in a different post but these two photo albums are of events involving the church or church family.  One is the Memorial Day picnic and one is just a gathering of church family singing and fellowshipping at someone's house.  Both sets of pics are taken in May-  and I forewarn you, there are a hundred in each album and not ALL of them are of Caelan!

So I hope you enjoy looking at all of those!
