Starting a Family (Comic) Blog

Yes, it has been many months since the birth of our son Emo Lamb (not his real name, obviously!), and it took us this long to finally start our first post (and yes, it would have been even longer if Mama Lamb did not find WIX - which has been really amazing, and free, at least for now).
Now that we are starting to set this blog up, Papa Lamb has so many concerns. Will people really want to know about our life and what we think? How should we go about doing this? Should we wait? (The list can go on...)
And in the end, Mama Lamb thinks we should just give it a go since this is our personal blog, and if someone benefits from it that will be great, but even if no one else reads this, it will still be our journal. So we did, starting here.
Before jumping straight to the point and starting from when we first became parents, Papa Lamb wants to set the stage for this blog, almost like an editor's note in a magazine (do people actually read that?).
If you have already seen About Our Family, you probably have some idea what this blog is about. But if you have not, what we want to do here is to document Emo Lamb's journey growing up (for those of you who have heard other parents say that their kids grow up very fast, IT'S TRUE! He was so small just not so long ago, and he is now taller by 30% and weigh 150% more than at birth!).
Frankly, this journal is mainly for Papa Lamb as he has (super) selective memory, and is living proof that people with a Dory-like memory exist in reality outside of movies. This blog will hopefully help jolt his memory few years down the road when he is asked when did Emo Lamb started doing this or that.
Besides writing this blog as a journal, we also want to share our thoughts about parenting - not as experts, but simply from the view point of two people who recently graduated into parenthood, two people who constantly grapple in the dark searching for answers (literally, consulting Mr G on our mobiles while Emo Lamb dreams away).
Since we are no experts, we also welcome you to join us and share YOUR thoughts as well, what has worked for you and what has not. If you are also someone like us constantly trying to find out more about parenting and wants to bounce off ideas, this blog may just be for you. We really want to learn from you, especially if you have been through what we are or will be going through, and has some tips for us!
Without further ado, we shall start our story from when our parenting journey began: when Emo Lamb was born.
Please leave some comments below and let us know what you think about our blog. Or if you have any questions for us, and we will try our best to answer them. You can also drop us an email.
On a side note, Papa Lamb has always wanted to take a stab at drawing comics and has always been waiting for an excuse to doddle. Feel free to poke fun if you think its horrible, or give a pat on his back if you think its funny - it always helps to have feedback and encouragement.
