Private with a new way to Update

It would seem that my problem is not spam and is not going away, so I am making our blog private for now, unfortunately.  I really enjoy the connections made with other bloggers and don't want it this way, but it is the best for our family right now with so much information on this blog. 

The problem with private blogs is that you can't follow them on your dashboard or through google reader, and I always forget to check them, so I've created an update blog that you can follow which will link you directly to our blog.  So if you want to continue following us, which I hope you do, go to www.laperleupdates.blogspot.com and click on "follow" on the top of the page and then you will automatically see any new posts we have through your dashboard or google reader.  Or add www.laperleupdates.blogspot.com to your feed.

I'm sad to have to make changes this way, but hopefully it will work out.  Please leave me a comment with your email address below, or email me at (jhlaperle@gmail.com) so I can send you an invite to view our blog.  I know I mentioned before, if you follow this blog anonymously and would like to continue doing so (which I do a lot), don't hesitate to leave me your blog address and email.
Thanks,
Heidi
