The Dark Side... (or What We Have Been Up To)

 -Our sweet little baby is due oh so soon with much excitement and anticipation -K and C's play has transformed in such a beautiful way that my husband and I just can't stop watching them -We have an incredible, incredible community at school wanting and waiting to help us out with our new arrival -Our little K has never been happier in all her life. Thanks to our school she is thriving more than ever could be imagined. I just can't get over it. She is growing and changing so much from her wonderful influences at school, we are so very, very blessed and grateful -I was asked to contribute to a really fun book and I accepted. The deadline is really soon so that has been keeping me busy, too ;) -We are really appreciating the simple things in life more and more, and just loving each others' company -I feel even more connected to my girls, and even with my crazy pregnant hormones, I see the patience they are teaching me really paying off -Nana and Grandpa will be coming out to see us this year and we are all thrilled -We witnessed K talking to her guardian angel, telling her how happy and thankful she is for school -We have made some inspiring, special friends and spend many a days at the (nice and warm) school library playing, knitting/crafting and talking -The baby's blanket is about 95% done (but that's more of a personal triumph for me) -Above all : we have love, and really isn't that all that truly matters???

Thank You!

I just have to say thank you to everyone who has contacted me to see if all is well. I am so touched. I am, indeed, still here but we have been going through quite a bit. I am unable to get online right now so please accept my deepest apologies for not getting back to you.
I know I have a lot of explaining to do about my absence from this space and it will come, I promise. But right now I just want to share some happy moments and other things from December. Consider this a 'part one of two' post. I have no way to access my photos so this is all I can share right now.
