We're Back!

Sometimes after a prolonged absence it's nearly impossible to make your way back. It's been over a month since my last post and as the days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months it became harder and harder to get back in the swing of things. It almost felt as if I would need something really big to lead with. I would need all the best pictures and all the right words and perhaps the perfect song....

Unfortunately, I don't have any of those things tonight, but maybe this will be enough to get us back on track. Maybe if I just say that the past few weeks have been chaotic and lovely and whirlwindy, then that will be enough. Maybe if I just tell you that our household is bursting with holiday cheer and leftover spirit and so much continuous motion it would make your head spin, you'd believe me and leave it at that. Maybe if I confessed that the last few months of 2010 were very difficult and painful and hard but that I learned my lessons, have finally embraced forgiveness and am now ready to forge ahead once more, it would help ease any questions about where on earth I've been for so long.

Because I am still right here. Right here loving my life, loving my kids and my Mister, loving the joy and light and perhaps even loving the bits that hurt as well. We are incredibly, just ridiculously lucky to have this life together and I am ready to start the year off with some pretty hopeful intentions. So let's get back on with the show shall we?

(Best I could do for now, but I promise new pictures will arrive shortly)
