it's been a while.


Here is a brief (hahaha) list of some of the things that have happened in the past 4.5 months since I last posted.

·         I took a little internet break, not just a blog break.  I rarely got on my computer and I rarely picked up my camera.  But I had my iphone with me the whole time.  (Unless it was sitting in rice inside a baggie, drying out. Twice.)  So I’ll use my instagram pictures. Because that’s how my life has been. Instant. What is right now? In front of me?

·         Jake and I celebrated our 16 year anniversary.
 

Date night with my honey.

·         Someone turned 8 and got baptized.

 
Her 8th birthday was on Easter. When I pointed the camera at her, this is what she did. Her vision: poise and grace. She is my teacher.

Rebirth

·         Someone also got stitches

On our hike today.

Crisp evening air can make me want to chase the sunset. And then ride home toward the rising moon.

Clair de Lune inspires movement in these bodies. I just laid on the floor and watched the joy. It's the little things that refill my cup.

This morning's promise.

I know that even though that barely scratches the surface, it's a lot to throw into one post.  But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.  It's part of survival of the fittest.  And that, my friends is the biggest accomplishment: I've survived the past several months with 3 year-old twins at the caboose of my family.  It's enough to drive me to an early grave.  But if it does, friends, it will be because the love was simply too intense and I imploded with the stress of it all.

I really can't believe mine are 4 and that I had another babe!! What posessed me to do this again after twins? But 1 is SOOOOoooooo much easier, it is a breeeeze!
