A Little Break

Well, I've returned from an unintended mid-spring break.  The time away was for a good reason, I was caught pretty off guard during a family tragedy that I will write about later and needed to take the time to spend with my family in order to be well again.

During the time away, nothing too much happened.  The days went on and the kids grew up; I missed the blog... Is that weird to say?  Probably, but this blog is that feeling I have at 2:00 am when something mom-genuis pops into my head.  It's a guilty little thought when I see the kids doing something awesome that I want to scream and shout about! like Baby girl rolling over at 7 weeks.  Most of all, it's a place where I've been as real as possible about a lot of things: motherhood, my marriage, my family, etc. and this newest chapter is something that I feel compelled to share.

Please be patient with me, I've got a lot of photos to share and little stories to tell.  A kinda big announcement is coming your way by the end of the week, so stay tuned.  Until then, here are some pictures from Mother's Day, please enjoy their simplistic beauty, which translates to a not taking a shower and snapping photos on the iPhone.

Rotten Grouchy Mothers Day

As my sons sat captivated the other day, watching this video with silenced fascination (weird, I know, but that's their reaction anytime a new video gets added to our youtube favorites), I thought, this is definitely how I will remember Mother's Day 2012.

From the bottom of my heart, I'm wishing all the other Mother's, Step Mothers, Godmothers and female role-models who are mothers in their own right, a very happy, rotten, grouchy Mother's Day.
