Hello old friend…
Coming back to this blog is like seeing an old friend again. No matter how much time has passed, it feels just like the last time we saw each other… even when that last time was months ago.
15 Weeks
It’s official… the first trimester is behind me and we’re moving on through the second trimester, one day at a time. Ray and I got to have another little look at Minion #3 a few weeks ago… we got to bring home a few more photos of the little one…
First trimester update
It is Tuesday night and the kids are in their room fighting with sleep, but thankfully not with each other. I’m listening to them talk to each other… it’s more nonsense than anything else… and I can’t help but wonder what it will be like when a third child is added to the bunch. The

Where I’ve been
So I started this year with great intentions… take some more fun vacations, sew more, write more, craft something new every week, as well as try new recipes weekly… It turns out though that the only thing that I’ve been keeping up with so far (and even there I have skipped a week or two)
On Openness and Honesty
The thing about being an introvert, is that it is so very hard to really put yourself out there for everyone to see.

What we’ve been up to

Welcome to 2013
It’s 2013! According to some, it’s the year that wasn’t supposed to happen… yeah, I didn’t really fall for that either. Ray and I celebrated New Year’s eve here at home… both of us sick with whatever cold is going around right now… fun! Thankfully {if there ever really is a thankfully to having a cold}, our family wasn’t hit with this bug until after Christmas was over. Unfortunately though, it’s now making it’s way through everyone in the house and so far Noah is the only one who hasn’t really gotten it.

My heart hurts and there are no words that can truly express how I am feeling right now… all I know is that I will be hugging my children tighter and longer all day today.
