A New Home

When Thomas was born, we started taking hundreds of pictures. I would send photos via email to everyone that was interested. Well, that started getting old very quickly and given the amount of photos we were taking it just didn't make any sense. So I started my own Thomas Moore Cavanaugh website. I created the site and maintained it but that quickly got to be a pain as well. So then I decided to host all of our family photos on Smugmug, which is very cool if you haven't checked it out. They do charge, but it's very minimal. The great thing about Smugmug is that you the people can have access to the original digital files, very nice... But then it seemed like I was just sending links to a bunch of photos with no real context and I didn't want to do that. That's when I created the Thomas Moore Cavanaugh blog using Google's free Blogger service. Ah... everything was right in the world. Both Sorcha and I could post to the blog about things that Thomas was doing but still link to Smugmug for the delivery of photos and short videos related to each post. Great. Well maybe not. Sorcha and I are planning to have more children. Will each child have their own blog? Doubtful... Big pain... So, the more I thought about it, the more I realized, we needed a family blog. Not just one focused on Thomas (although, I'm sure all the posts will be about him for a long time) but one focused on our new family and eventually larger family. So, without further ado, may I present the new blog... The Cavanaugh Family. Enjoy.
