Long time, No Post...

Hello there!


Yes, it's me.


I know, I haven't posted for awhile...


Trust me when I say, "I've REALLY wanted to and have written about 20 blog posts in my mind, but, well, I had to give myself a bit of a TIME-OUT on the computer".  I'll explain more in a different post...


but for now, I'll just say, I'm glad to be back:)


I hope y'all are doing well and thanks for stopping by!


Yes,  if you are wondering...I'm still counting to 1000.  So here we go--


171.  Knowing that a few days of cooking chaos will result in months of meal planning simplicity


172.  Watching Hope at her piano recital


173.  Children behaving well for our 1 1/2 hour shopping extravaganza at the grocery store


174.  A four year old willing to push our full 2nd cart:)


175.  The sounds of soft thunder and gentle rain as I ready for sleeping


176.  A chubby shirtless baby belly


177.  Vacuuming the living room at 10:00pm


178.  Spending Sunday together as a family


179.  Finally an interest in potty training!


180.  A trip to the church for bike riding and baseball


181.  Lots of compliments from the children at mealtime


182.  Trying a new recipe--that worked!


183.  Fancy colorful pens used to organize our calendar of activities


184.  Success in planning ahead...sometimes:)


185.  Catching a glimpse of a rainbow and remembering God's promise to Noah to never flood the WHOLE earth again (we needed that reminder after all the rain we'd been having:)


Thanks again for stopping by...
Blessings to you until we meet here again!
