Wow, I really did not mean to end that last post on a cliffhanger, and then let you all hang for so long!  Life just got really busy there for a few weeks, and I just didn't have time to sit and write.  Even this morning, I set a goal of finishing the post I started writing almost a month ago, and it really seemed like it was not meant to happen.  First, when I sat down to blog, the power went out.  Then when it was back on again, I started to write again--and a friend called, crying.  Of course that was way more important than blogging!  But then I did not have another chance to sit down and write until afternoon--and then my kids all started melting down and needing me.  Now I am so tired, and need to get to bed (springing forward tomorrow and all--I think I'll be more like lurching forward) but I just want to post something to let you all know I'm still here and we are all ok.

I'm still here!

We're all ok!

In fact, life is good--still some stresses, but way more good stuff and God stuff going on, so there you go!

In conclusion, random recent photo of the kids:

Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend. : )
