As I looked over older posts tonight I realized what a lousy excuse of a blogger I am...I think what really happened seven months ago when I logged my last blog entry, was that I discovered facebook!! Ah the ruin! Anyway, I am inspired once again to document my life in these oh so uncertain times. I am inspired by my friend Shalet (who is really not that peculiar) and my sister in law, Lisa, to keep on bloggin'. Thanks girls! The past seven months have brought change (turned 30..eek!), peril (John lost his job) and joy...Nina is growing and developing at lightning speed! I love being a mama, but it is hard work and I am utterly overwhelmed at how much can happen in a span of seven short months. As of late, I am thankful for time away from school to pause, reflect and redirect our life. John is working so hard, going to school and trying to chart his course. We are living in the moments, and trying to be thankful for all that we have...just watching the lettuce grow, Nina's hair lighten in the summer sun and the chickens peck about the yard, are my happinesses (word?) these days. I loved spending time with my family at Tahoe and being with friends in San Jose, but right now I really need to be present here at home, with our little nuclear unit. It is together that we will make it through the unknowns that are consuming us. Thanks for reminding me of this Cat! So until the next time, I will try to savor corn on the cob, my daughter in her fairy dress saying "ow" and my husband proudly staining the new sandbox. Happy Summer my friends...love to all!

Only a touch peculiar (good to know). ;o)
Family is indeed what is most important. When I think back thirteen years (THIRTEEN!) and remember Eli as a baby I remember the time we spent together. The long hours, hard work, utter lack of money ... it's all faded into the background. But the family unit, the cohesiveness - that's what sticks.
You guys are raising an amazing little girl. Keep up the good work!
So good to hear from you, I wondered where you went! We really need to visit and get out two girls together before they get too big, it's like lightning fast watching them grow!
Miss Becky Girl - You have hit the nail right on the head. I continue to learn so much about life interacting and exploring with my kiddos. Next time your San Jo - connect with me please......:)
