Still here!

By on April 30, 2012 in about me

I am still alive.  I can’t believe so much time has passed since I have blogged and I feel as though I have fallen off the wagon and can’t get back up.  At first I just thought I would take a week off and just be and live but then a week turned into two and here we are 20 days later.  There has been so much going on here and I have no pictures to show for it.  I visited my parents back home and left my memory card in my moms computer.  She mailed it to me but the post office sent it back and so I am still waiting for my pictures to share with all of you everything that has been going on here in the past 20 days.

I want to thank everyone who sent me emails checking to see if everything is OK.  I didn’t mean to worry anyone but it does kinda make me feel all warm inside to know that some of you were thinking of me : )

I am fine, belly growing and trying to keep up with all my projects with much less energy than usual.  We have done alot housewise (new patio finally!!  remodeled the girls room) and I hope to share pictures of the garden because it is unrecognizeable from a few weeks back.  Spring is in full force and so is the work load but I am seeing the benefits and so that is where I have been…in the garden or working on the farm.

I have not picked up a ball of yarn (um except to tie up some tomatoes hee hee) or touched my sewing machine which is still buried behind 100 boxes of stuff.  There are so many projects I need to get back to but right now my heart is outside and that is where I feel the best.  I will try to sneak Alex’s camera to get some pics of the garden to post and share some broody news.

Happy Easter…One year later

By on April 9, 2012 in Handmade Holidays and Celebrations

I love putting up this post every year.  For the past few years I have posted our Easter picture along with the past few years in order to see the change in my family.  Changes I do not see because I am always in the present.  I didn’t mean to make this a yearly thing but now that it has come a tradition, I am happy to share it with you.

I am not thrilled with this years picture.  I honestly snapped about 60 and now that I am looking at them, I couldn’t find the “perfect one” but if you have ever tried taking pictures of more than 4 or 5 kids, maybe you know how hard it is to get a perfect shot.  Actually after looking at the past few years Easter shot I remembered not getting the perfect shot then either hee hee.

Our Easter picture is always taken in front of the same tree in our front yard.  A few years back when we thought we were going to have to move, one of the things I thought of was our yearly picture in front of that tree.  Silly right?

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter day.  I will be sharing some of the meals we had and more of our day in the next few days.
