Yes, I am telling you all that I have decided to go private. I insisted that I would NEVER do this, however, I was almost a victim of a nanny scam, and I do not want those people to find out more information about me and my family and somehow come after me. This probably would not happen, but for the time being I want to go private in case they google me, and find that I have a blog. So, I would like to add EVERYONE (this includes those i don't know, i will add you too!) that reads my blog to comment and leave your email address so I can add you as a reader. I don't care if you only read it once a month, or you read it daily, I want you all to still enjoy reading about our family, I just want to be safe.
I am giving you until Friday May 9th to comment and give me your email. After that, you will no longer be reading all of the fun stories I share.
P.S. I will be blogging about our Fabulous trip to Cali., but that will probably happen tomorrow or the next day.

Hi Joy & Geoff,
Well I am a regular reader, and comment often. I dont want to be unable to read yuor blog I love it. I am so sorry you have had to take this step, but do understand. I dont want to miss little Paityn though so please do include me. I dont knw what I do wrong, but everytime someone goes private and I ask to be included I seem to be left out in the cold.
I hope it works for me this time.I am not sure how I find out, but will watch for an email.
Looking forward to news of the Cali trip, hope it went well.

I cannot wait to hear about your trip and Paityn in the sand and such. I am happy you are home safely and I do not blame you for going pirvate.
pen- i need your email to add you!

i came across your blog by flipping through others. your beautiful layout caught my eye. i enjoy the pics of your beautiful paityn...i also have one daughter, but she is now 12. i too am a photo buff. i just went digital this year....it's so much cheaper! i also love the instant gratification.
if you are adding strangers, please count me in, mimmy58@aol.com
if not, i understand. enjoy your trip, and your beautiful paityn!
take care

sorry to hear you have to go private it's a shame but I understand and it's very nice of you to invite people you don't know to access your blog once it goes private - I really appreciate it.
Glad I got back in time (was in France for 10 days) and just got back yesterday.
Maybe one of these days I'll create a blog
Anyway here's my email

Hey we definitely want to be added so we can keep up on all the fun. My address is j.annapoole@gmail.com and Marcus' is marcusjpoole@gmail.com
I'm glad you found out about the scam before it became a problem for you. I do so enjoy reading your blog and seeing Paityn grow.
My addy is rockettda@charter.net.
I would like to be added. danesove@hotmail.com
It's a shame that there are psychos out there. Well it's always good to be cautious.
I am so sorry about your nanny scam, and you have to do what need to protect yourself and your family. I love your blog and do hope to keep reading it and commenting. My email is wyanet_61379@yahoo.com I do hope I am invited, but I wish you all the best if I am not.
So sorry to here you have to go private because people can't just enjoy your website and enjoy letting you talk about your your photography and enjoy watching your daughter grow. It is also fun to hear about the day to day of a growing baby-I miss those times mine are so much older now-I am in the new phase of my life-waiting to be a grandma someday. Love to be put on your list
my email is lmertes@northstar.k12.ak.us
PS I am a teacher and love hearing about how you enrich your child's life through books and learning.

Sorry Joy, thought it showed up in postings, see i am just an infant blogger, hardly got mine started dont even know how to invite people.....thanks for pointing it out to me, email is
tropen50@gmail.com
Thanks again, I love your blog.
I found your blog accidentally a while ago and have enjoyed reading it although I have never commented. Your little girl is lovely-it takes me back to when my daughter Emma was a baby(she got married last year). To be honest I feel a bit uncomfortable asking as it seems a bit of a cheek but if you are including people you don't know, it would be nice to continue reading. I am 50, have 3 grown-up children(aged 28,26 and 18) and live in the south of England.

I would love it if you add me. I recently discovered your blog, and besides thinking your daughter is adorable, I love Milo! (Yes, I'm a schnauzer fan!) Plus, I've been looking for other LDS mom blogs. (if you'd like to see a bit about me before you decide, my blog is justlikepenguins.blogspot.com. Blogging is a new way of penpaling isn't it?)
My email is: octoberteddy@yahoo.com
Thanks for the consideration!!

Joy, I'd like to continue reading your blog. It's fun for me to see what a young LDS family is up to. My youngest child will be baptized next month, so I don't have any babies left. It's so true that they grow too fast. From what I read, you're a wonderful mother and wife! Thanks for letting us see a snipit of your life.
