Sorry for the lack of posts

Our CB (Chief Blogger) has been sidetracked with her new online classes she has to take for certification in IL and this blog has suffered. Hopefully everyone is still a fan and will continue to tune in for more updates soon. I have spent time recently thinking about what we can do to make the blog better and more interactive, so I figure that in addition to recaps of the Midwest Family, we can also make it more of a "stream of consciousness" on random subjects that might interest us and/or the readers. Items such as investing, sports, you name it its fair game. Topic #2: Comments. News Alert....We enjoy reading comments about the same as you enjoy reading posts. This lead me to the following observation....The counter on the front page lists that this blog has been visited by over 2100 people in 114 countries. This stat makes me wonder how cool it would be to hear from more people than the usual 4. Keep your eyes open for some questions that we will pose at the bottom of some posts. We look forward to hearing everyones response.
