In the beginning it was all about Ian. I even wrote in his voice which now gives me the creeps! What was I thinking? As he gained a voice of his own I moved to my own voice.
Somehow About A Boy became much more about a boy's mom. Then a few more people started reading it. Then it became about a mom's photography and scrapbooking. And then it became an amalgam (I love that word) of thoughts, ideas, and photos always trying to remember the point was About A Boy. But I guess being About A Boy means also being about that boy's mom's emotions, that boy's house, that boy's backyard (I mean garden) and other such stuff.
I'm not really certain what brings people here. I love that you stop by! I'm humbled and honored to be part of a daily routine for many of you! I love that you leave kind comments and well the compliments on my photography are always good for my ego. I know at least one grandparent still stops by every day to see if there are photos of her grandson. So what brings the rest of you? What do you enjoy? What do you look forward to most? What would you like to see more of? What has been your favorite post?
I know a lot of questions, but I'm curious. And of course, I'd like to make you happy! It's the middle child in me! :)

I come because I consider you a photography/scrapbooking friend, and I love to see what is going on in your life.
Thanks Teri! I count you among my p/s friends as well! :) I think your ranch will be the perfect place for Ian to spend summers when he's 12!
I first came because you were a fellow DD scrapbooker and flickr-er {!?} Then I came because I loved reading it {you dont write enough tho, could you please not have a real life and just post ten times a day??;)} and now of course I come because I love you to pieces, count you as a special friend and look forward to vacationing together again :D

Well, yes as a fellow DD'r (and mom) I came to read your posts and see your amazing photography, and I still do. I love hearing about yall's journey. And like Mel said, I now consider you a great friend and enjoy keeping up with your busy and amazing world.
I come because it is here and I'm just drawn to your blog! I love your writing ... you are good at it. I love your photos ... you are good at them too. I love to see how Ian is growing and learning ... cuz' I can relate my grandsons to him in lots of ways.
And, just because I think you are fun and cool and I want another vacation with all of us together again!

I came because of seeing you at DD and liking your spirit and embrace of life. I stayed because your joy for life & family is shown in your blog writing just as in your layouts. Not having kids, it is fun to watch others grow up and hear about the experiences you go through. Not that we really know each other, I think you are one cool, strong lady and enjoy reading about you & your family & you provide great photography eye candy :)
I found your blog through DD and keep comming back because I love reading the bits of your daily life, you have a way of making your ordinary moments so interesting and I love your photos!
I came to it recently via DD. I've always admired your photography and scrapping, such an inspiration. Now I just like reading what you have to say. That's why I keep coming back.
