Another year of blogging has gone by. Though I have been rather absent the last couple months, I still managed to post more in 2008 than in 2007 AND started an additional blog to funnel my foodie posts.
For a while in December, it seemed the whole world had spontaneously decided that the blogging fad was over. Yet, here we are, getting moving again after holiday hibernation.
Ancora Imparo now has 17 subscribers, and approximately 15 daily visitors (many of whom are simply doing Google searches to uncover the meaning of "Ancora Imparo").
In keeping with last years tradition, I have produced another "year in review" of the posts with the most comment-dialog from each month of 2008.
January: To Die Is Gain
February: Prego Update on the pregnancy that wasn't
March: Pacifism and Non-Violence: A Definition of Terms
April: Science vs. Self: A Dialog
May: Making Home
June: How To: Kombucha that spurred my food blog.
July: The Joy of Growing which I think made Elliot's growing fan club official
August: Home Experiments
September: NaNoWriMo Comith and it came and went, and may be revisited this Feb.
October: An Open Letter to Senator Barack Obama
November: Answers For One Reader
December: Mi Casa Es Tu Casa
I have hopes of returning this blog to my original plan of a place to capture thoughts and musings on life, or to practice creative writing for the more "mundane" aspects of life. Somehow or other this has become primarily a mommy-blog, which is fine, but not what I want. I want a place to dialog ideas. Hopefully, the house and home pieces offer better context for where my ideas emerge, in the hope of allowing more genuine dialog, but I would prefer they move to the background.
We shall see what this year holds for this blog. This pregnancy was keeping me QUITE tired (I think the two other children helped a bit), but I am starting to feel my energy return, and hopefully that will mean a return to posting the random things that fill my mind while I fold laundry and wash dishes and such.
Thanks you for reading for another year! Feel free to email questions or requests for things you might like to see me write more about this year.

Well I personally like the conversations with the boys and the pictures and updates about them since I can't ever see them, so hopefully that won't go to far into the background!!!
Happy Birthday, Blog!
I love pictures. I love pictures. I love pictures.
I don't know if I would be considered as one who decided that the blogging fad was over, but I decided to extend my blogging silence indefinitely. It's not that I don't have things to say/write, but rather I find my time being dominated by other things...including a surprise pregnancy :)
I still enjoy reading your thoughts, though, so keep them coming.
Grace & Peace.
Jen and Leah - I suppose I should clairfy, it's not that I want to blog less about the boys and home life, it's just that I want to also find time to get the other "head" stuff out too....perhaps balance is what I am seeking.
Dustin - Congratulations to you all! When is your wife due? Yes, you, and most of the bloggers I read were all quite quiet over the holidays. I enjoyed not blogging, but now I miss it, since it is pretty much my entire social life =) Thoughts coming soon, I hope.
My wife is due at the end of July.
Oh...and just so you know, I've returned to blogging :)
Dustin - I think that is a similar spacing as our kids were last time, right? Elliot was born June 17 2007, and now we're expecting mid-September.
I will look forward to exploring your new blog. I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away for long =)
