Dear Miller Family,

Hey guys it's HB. I've has this thought stewing in my mind for a few months now and thought I'd run it by you guys. I was wondering if each couple could take a week each month and sometime during that week they could do a post here on the Miller blog. I suggest this because I am not feeling very close to any of you. I think of Emily being a first year teacher and I think, "I wonder if her days feel long, or if they go by fast!" I find myself wondering if Leanna is excited for the Spring? Last wek I asked Ryan how Mark's snow shoe race went and he didn't know if it had even happened yet. I know it's inevitable that we will become absorbed in our own families and we really won't be able to stay as caught as we'd like. But I think we can do better.

So this is what I propose. This isn't exclusive to just Miller siblings but spouses as well, anyone can post anytime on the blog but the first week of the month will be Lelers family week. Then next week will be Ryan's the third week will be Mark and Libby and the fourth week will be Powers. What I would love to hear about isn't just what has happened but how everyone is feeling? Are you burned out of winter? Are you really frustrated wih something like i.e. the only way I can get on the Internet is on the iPad right now and it takes like 5 minutes to load one page! Pete's, you do an excellent job posting and so I would encourage you to just keep posting whenever you have the desire.

So I have to apologize for the horrible grammar in this post. I can't cursor and edit with any sort of ease so I am just spitting this out. I think this could be a really good idea. If anyone else has any other suggestions or guide lines I would love the idea. I figure one post a month by each couple is way do able! You don't even have to put in pictures, it could just be text. I would just love to know how everyone is doing. Maybe everyone already does, and we are just the worst communicators. If this stupid you guys can totally say so.

While I have the stage-delete my phone number in your phone. We deleted my line since cell phones and I don't seem to get along. House phone will be active Feb. 23! And you will for sure to be able to get me that way, and actually hear me because it will be a good connection. Love you guys-
