Well would you look at that! It's still the same month as my last blog post! Ha! (Really, does the year matter? Such a trivial little detail. I mean, 2010? 2011? No difference, right? Right?)
Okay, yes, a WHOLE year has gone by. In fact, the only reason that you are reading this latest post is because a.) you get instant alerts (and if that's the case, I hope that my 'return' to blogging did not shock you computer into crash mode or b.) you're my mother.
I make no promises about my 'return', but when I look back at my old posts, I love that they are there. And not seeing anything from 2011 makes me sad. :( Because it has been a GREAT year! A BIG year!
...best friends returned from Ethiopia as a family of 6, our resident 5 year-old celebrated her special day with a chef-themed party, Dave turned 36, Grayson turned 8, there was a dance recital, spring soccer, a pre-school graduation, I turned 35, swim lessons, fun summer trips to Umpqua, Kape Kiwanda, and McCall, a big first day of school for TWO Columbus Cougars, more soccer, new "village" additions to the neighborhood, Halloween, basketball, ...
Oh, and one other thing. It...I mean 'he'...is kind of a big deal. A really big deal.
So we shall see! But I'd say that sweet Parker James is a pretty good reason to 'return'. Stay tuned!
(Oh and I leave you with possibly the only proof that Parker will ever have to prove that he was, in fact, actually in my tummy! Poor third child...)
