Oh, hi there

Oh, hi there. 

Remember me? 

It has been over a year and a half since I posted here, and honestly, it seems a little weird to jump back in where I left off. 

First, let me explain my absence a bit. I found several posts on the internet detailing things about my children I was uncomfortable with. I should have known better than look around at what other sites were saying about mine, but I did, and I worried if I was oversharing about my children. 

On top of that, life had become so busy that I felt I needed to take a step away from things that were unnecessary. I’m glad I did, because this blog was the first of several things I had to let go in order to get a handle on this motherhood thing. 

Not that I’ve got it all figured out now, but I think I’ve gotten to a place where I am comfortable stepping forward again. 

I have always found it hard when I form a sort of attachment to someone and their family via their blog, and then they disappear. And that’s exactly what I have done! 

I am going to clean things up here and slowly start posting again, but let me give a quick update.

First of all, we are not in Japan. The Lord intervened in that and swung us in a different direction, and thank goodness he did because shortly after we found out there had been a change in plans, we found out that this little man would be joining our family. 

Meet Alexander. He was born in January and is just about the sweetest little boy you ever did see. After years of hormone imbalance and infertility, I was blessed with an “unplanned” baby! More on that later, but let’s just say, I’m highly attached to him. 

As for my girls, they are energetic, sweet, fun, a little crazy, and own an impressive dress-up stash (mostly gifted from doting aunts) 

I am looking forward to writing more and slowly getting this space updated into what I’ve been envisioning for a while. I had considered starting a new blog altogether, but honestly I feel a bit nostalgic about this space. I’ve been blogging here since I was a 24 year old newlywed. Now I am a 32 year old mother of 4. My views on many things have changed, as have my priorities and the minutia of my daily life, but that is the way things go. I’m a work in progress and God has moved in me and is preparing me for where I am and where I am going. 

So anyway, hello again!
