First blog post for 2010 and beyond

So, the bottom line for this post is to let all friends and family members know that Frost Family SW is ready to re-enter the blogosphere. After a year long hiatus mainly because of facebook (the internet version of crack) i have come to the realization the blog has its own niche in the social network game and on a larger scope, life in general. Let me tell you how i came to this conclusion:

First is the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421715/. For those of you who haven't seen it (or wont admit to it), the movie is a story of a man named Benjamin Button, who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. The story is told through a journal that is kept by one of the main characters. After seeing the movie and listening to the tapes that Grandpa Frost made, i realized that a journal is a good way to communicate your story even after you are gone. I believe that a blog can suffice.

Second is the realization that blogging is not just for moms to brag about how great their life is / pitch unwanted products (no offense anyone, its not you). My brother Mike is a good example of a dude blogger that keeps it real, keeps it funny, and still updates the family of how he is doing (http://frostfamilyfun.blogspot.com/). Also, we got this cool new camera with lots of mega pixels.

Third, Marcie and i were looking at our blog the other day and i noticed a disturbing trend. 1 blog post in 2006, 14 in 2007, 18 in 2008 and sadly only 3 in 2009. So the job ahead of me is to refresh our blog dashboard...sorry, no "cutest blog on the block" themes and put some new pics up. One of my new years resolutions is to post at least something once a month this year. So with that, here are some updated pics of the family i promise they will have explanations and be more logical next month......we'll talk to you in February!
