Here is the promised picture of Caeden's teeth for my mother...not a good smile, but that is as good as we have for now.


Here are a couple pix of each boy to see how they compare at six months.



Bex at 6 months...

This is Beckham eating his favorite thing in the world..ice cream...and loving every second of it.



Marisa has really gotten into her flowers this year. She took a BUNCH of pictures so I thought she would like to have a few posted here.





Now to the blogalicious part. Many friends and family have started blogging over the past few months. I previously put all those w/ RSS feeds on my MY YAHOO home page so that I could see when they updated. That sometimes didn't show updates for a few hours to a couple days and it took a while to scan over them all to see which ones had new posts. As usual, someone created a program to do that for you. I searched around and the best free one that I found is Sharp Reader that you can download and check out here. It is nice and makes it easy to keep up an all the blogs.

Marisa and I often post to others people's blogs and they sometimes even comment-back to what we have said. I think the comment-back often gets missed because I don't frequently recheck comment sections once I have commented. Most blogs have a link to add an RSS feed for a specific post and all the comments that get added to it, but not all comments made to the blog. I found out a way to get the feed of ALL comments made to a blog. To do it you must do the following:

Look at the RSS feed for your blog. You can right click on the link near the bottom of the blog that says something like the following:

Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)

and then right click on "Posts (Atom)" and choose something like, "Copy link location." You can paste that somewhere and see what it is, mine is http://calderwood.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default. Just change the word "posts" to the word "comments" and add that to whatever you use for your RSS feeds. My blog post feed is http://calderwood.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default. Now you will see all comments made to that specific blog. By the way, this only works with Blogger blogs, but 95% of the blogs out there are from Blogger. If you want to do it, but are having problems just shoot me an email.
