Ok..."blogging slack off" is offically over!

I realized the other day that I had gotten to the point that I didnt want to blog because I just felt too guilty over how long it had been--but when I thought about that I realized how ridiculous that was! So I am here to put my foot down and end the blogging absence (at least for this week anyways!)

Why the absence?? Oh soo many reasons! One of the main ones was that life was just to "ick" to really want to talk about for awhile for me. I see all these other blogs and they are all "rosy, I love my life type blogs" --but when your not in that place in life--its hard to want to be public about it when everyone else is so "peachy!"
Oh--we do have things to be happy about--dont get me wrong. But all of our good--has come with lots of complications and baggage.

Its been a very challenging and changing year for my family. Family as I have known it for years greatly changed over the last 10 months and it really rocked me. Throw in a miscarriage, then a pregnancy that was stricken with sickness from the beginning--and you might get to see why I just did not want to share!
BUT....I am ready to start talking again. ( I think!)

We are now 15 weeks away from expecting a new baby girl, I am finally at peace in getting the help I needed to keep me from getting so sick all the time-and I have precious little boy who likes to "hold the baby" every morning when he wakes up.
The Lord has taught me incredible things over the past few months---and I am so thankful for the lessons in the midst of the pain and challenges.

Ok--wont leave this "blog session" incomplete...here are a few recent pictures!

At the New Childrens museum In Ft Worth--Austin loved it!
















Last day In Steamboat--LOVE these kiddos!



















Just a "glimpse" at my ever expanding mid section. I worked with these 2 girls at APA--and we are now all pregnant at the same time! Fun times!
