The end is the beginning.

Many astute blog readers have noticed that the title of this little blog has changed. With each major change in life we have shifted the blog title to indicate the shifting challenges and joys of each new phase of our family's existence.

First it was "Nintendonesia" (thanks Alice). Then when we were back in the States it became "Like Pumpkin but with an L" And now, well, let's just say the new title is indicative of the shift in focus this blog has taken lately.

Though the name has changed, this shall remain the place for the latest and greatest pictures of E (see below)

However, this is not all the news I have to announce. In my attempts to pursue my dream of making a bit of money shooting photographs, I designed and built a photography portfolio website to that end, to peddle my digital wares: mattlumpkin.com
If you are a friend or family, beware you may find yourself in my portfolio (if you really don't want to be, just email me). But you should at least click through to find out who ended up where. Odds are if I've shot photos for you at all in the past, you're there.

I've also begun a new photoblog mattlumpkin.wordpress.com

in connection my photographic endeavors on which I plan to post my best photos taken lately and from time to time. Don't worry, if there's overlap, between what's best and what's best of Eleanor, you'll be sure to see it here too. And for those of you using google reader or some other such gatherer-together of information, the new photoblog has a handy RSS feature that lets your RSS reader keep up with checking to see if anything is new. If you have no idea what I'm talking about with all this technobabble then don't worry. The time you would save by using it would be wasted by the time it would take to learn about it and implement it.
