I love to read people's blogs. I read them too much probably. It is just so much fun to catch up on people's lives (a.k.a. snooping). People that you have lost contact with, people that you don't even know, and people that you do know. I have forever said that I was going to start a blog. My boys have always said, "Mom, if you have time to read other people's blogs, then you have time to write one." True, I know, but I am lazy. I do not like to write. I am hoping that I will keep this going. I definately have the material for a blog. With 7 children there is a major occurence several times a week around here. I think that the last entry in my journal starts with "I got married!" Sad.
I however, do not know blog etiquette. I am hoping that you will fill me in. Is it appropriate to put your friends/strangers blog links on your blog without asking them? Must you ask each one individually if you can please, pretty please put a link to their blog on your blog so that yours does not look boring and dull? I just do not know! Please help!

Great job, Lisa! I'm not an expert on blog etiquette either since it's such a new area. You can add a link to ours if you want, though!
I've linked you on my iGoogle page ... Looking forward to it reading it!
Thanks for including me, Lisa. I started one last year and have about 3 entries. I know you'll do better than me! I love your page design. The pics of your kids are great! Everyone is growing up so fast!
Hooray! I am so excited you have a blog!!! As for "blog etiquette," I am not an expert, but I know I didn't ask everyone I linked on mine...if that helps at all. I'm looking forward to reading about all the adventures at your house, and I love the pictures of your kids! Love you!
Welcome to the blogging world! In my experience it is a lot like journaling, feast or famine. I look forward to keeping up with the Penningtons or rather "snooping" on their lives.

Lisa,
I am so glad you have a blog now, too! I love keeping up with everyone through their blogs. Thanks for including me...I love your sweet family :)
ps great job! I love your layout!
I am sooo thankful you have a blog! We miss you guys so much! I don't know blog etiquette, either, and I've been doing this 20 months. You can add my link if you want. Your blog looks cute. I can explain how I do my headings if you want. My friend taught me, so I feel I should share if anyone is interested.
Ha! your journal sounds like mine!
hmm, you did something with your second post so I can't leave a comment on it!
That is so like Jacob to be upset cause you didn't let him jump into the pool.
If you ever need help with the blog just come on over!
so glad to have you on here!
I just add people whether I tell them or not.
I do have one friend who specifically put on her blog to not put her name on your own blog.
I figure if they don't want it "out there" they'll go private or do what my friend did and specifically request on her blog to not be put on your own list.
I am so glad you started a blog, and I have to confess I don't think there is really an etiquette involved. The pictures of your kids are great...did you guys go to the Sam Davis house for them? We really need to have some decent family pictures done. I miss hanging out with you in the hall during Sacrament with our rambunctious kids!
Welcome!! I just found your blog- don't remember how. You can put my link oh yours, though I am private now so I don't know how that will work.
Duh! Just saw you had me on your private list... :)
I'm so glad that you've started a blog! I had so much fun getting to know you at McKenzie's. You can add us to your list if you'd like!
