issues with Blogger

test. 

_______

Blogger flagged this post (which simply says "test" and had nothing in the subject field) as "spam"... 15 YEARS later. 15 *years* after the innocuous post. 

This is a huge problem. 😳

Will share the screenshots on Twitter

ps: you can see I abandoned Blogger right after this. This blog was too important, and needed a platform that worked (Blogger was having significant - and known - issues at the time)

This blog was updating my (adopted) daughters birth parents on what she was doing. It included photos of their daughter etc. This was MISSION CRITICAL ‐ and Blogger was inadequate (at that time)

It is difficult to tell that this is *me* and not my big sissie... I am so strong and adventurous now!

I fell asleep on mommy's neck... mama is a tad bit sore today :)

Rear view of that :)

Sissie, help me get out in the backyard with you! Mommy won't let me, but you will help me, won't you?

Mommy made a homemade ball pit for us.

Easter Sunday started out innocently enough... we went to church and had a wonderful Roast Lamb Easter supper (thank you to Omi for that!!!). But THEN we received our Easter baskets, and we ate....


.... THIS much chocolate...

... and we got our new Gammy Easter dresses THIS dirty!

It did not help matters that my sissie tried to put chocolate in my hair :)

My auntie Susanne took me swimming - oh, how I *adored* it!

I enjoyed eating (eh hem... *reading*!) my Easter cards.

My uncle Chris played "airplane" with me.



Here is my dear birth mommy Val.

I still fit in here!

My daddy and my puppy...

Am I loved, or what?
Gammy just fixed my hair :)

Now that I can stand when daddy holds me, things look just so much more *interesting*!



I am almost outgrowing the kitchen sink :)

yum!


I do my part when we go grocery shopping :)

With my dear Papi...



Look how proud I am that I can stand in the crib, too! My sister LOVES to play in my crib with me... whenever she hears me waking up on the monitor, she starts up the stairs and yells "I'm coming Keira" and then comes in the room and says hi to me through the crib slats. Then mommy had better be quick about getting her into the crib with me, or *both* of us will start to complain loudly about mommy not cooperating in this sweet reunion :)

It was soooooo nice having my Auntie come for a visit. We went to Curiosity Connection and she carried me like this the *whole* time, I loved it!



My birth mommy Val's cell phone is my new favorite toy. I get teased that I will be glued to the phone too a few years :)

Okay sissie, *I* am in charge now! :)

We are watching a HORROR movie! (okay, not really, but it sure does look like it, doesn't it?)

Grandma took this photo of us "tumbling". I learned that I loved to do this by watching my sissie do it. So then I start to sway forward and backward and arch my back - that was my sign to mommy that she needs to do tumbling with ME too! I ask for it often now :)



In my gammy Brenda's lap :)

Buttercup and I love to hang out together. I am surprisingly gentle with the kitties, so they like me!



I am laughing because daddy and Ava are right outside the window throwing snowballs at me!

I am cleaning my sissie's shoes...



Do you notice anything different about me? Look closely!

I was showing off for everyone at the mall today - bouncing on the benches. People stopped to say how cute I was!



My mommy is quite sure I was put on this earth to make many, many people happy & laugh!

Mommy is taking many pictures again today because we are stuck inside with all this snow :)

*UPDATE* Here is what happened to mommy's Valentine's Day flowers from daddy. Apparantly, they were not *all* for mommy :)

Okay, so daddy came home today with yellow roses for mommy and chocolate hearts for us, his favorite girls. Mommy was very apologetic because she had had NO idea that it was Valentine's Day and was a little horrified that she has missed it. She felt so bad that she hadn't made a card for daddy or anything. After apologizing to daddy and telling him how much she loved him, she then she dressed us in the first of our Valentine's Day outifts.

It was an hour later that she discovered that today was NOT Valentine's Day - it is tomorrow.

SILLY DADDY!!!!!



Big girl now :)

Ava is showing me the big snowfall! We already have 3 inches, and we will get many, many more (up to 2 feet, perhaps!).

Daddy "toting" us around.

See how well I can sit now? I love it! I can play with toys in very different ways now - very exciting.

I feel *so* grown up now that I can take a real bath.

Mommy had at least 10 pictures as cute as this one to choose from!

I am just SO proud, I can control my own feedings... not just the bottle, but also with bread and biscuits too.

My two teeth require a very thorough cleaning.

We are in Ava's crib playing with some of the dolls my gammy gave us for Christmas. Okay, maybe Ava is playing with them, and I am "chewing" them, ha ha.
