A new blog.....

Recently I decided it was time to start a new blog. I really enjoyed my last blog, and have missed writing, but that one was like another chapter of  life that is now over so it seemed the time had come for a new one. Plus I also wanted a more private place to share pictures and updates from our family and day to day to life, both for my friends and family that are all so far away, and for me to have all that stuff in one place :-). As I have time and a better internet connection I hope to import the family posts from my last blog.......In the meantime I hope to do a better job of keeping this one updated :-).
By the way the name came from back before we were married when John used to tease me about living up in 'the Northwoods!'

And since I said updates.....here is Caroline's most recent picture. She finally got big enough to use the exersaucer she was given at her baby shower and she loves it! She's such a busy girl now. When she's awake she wants to be doing something. I can't believe how big she is getting! Yesterday I took her in for her 3 month check up and she was 16 pounds 12 oz, and 25 inches long! She's growing up too fast! We had a fun morning together on a 'Caroline and Mama adventure'. Normally trips to town mean going to the grocery store, or maybe Fleet farm so it was fun to see my midwife, then go to the baby consignment store that's right by the hospital, and make a library trip. A nice change of routine, made nicer by the fact that Caroline finally seems to be outgrowing her need to have a meltdown when we come after errands :-). That makes life a lot easier!
