Has it really been that long?

It's been two months since I last posted something on my blog. I didn't realize it had been so long until a few friends commented that I must be busy because when they check my site there's nothing new there.

First of all, I'm humbled to know someone cares about what I think and have to say, or have been touched in some way by something in my blog. Thank you for your ear and compassion toward me.

With that said, "Life sure is busy sometimes!" Isn't it?

Let's see what have I been up to lately. . .

As you know, our family got a little bigger this past February with the birth of our granddaughter, Aubriana. I've written and erased many lines here trying to convey the events surrounding the transition in our home and I still can't put my finger on how to relay those things to the public yet. It's been a challenge, an adjustment, but also a huge blessing.

Our youngest daughter started speech therapy in our home twice a week. There was an evaluation process to go through, doctors visits, school visits, etc. to get her in the program. She's doing great but it's another thing that has to be done.

We're still homeschooling and it was that time of the year to begin to think and plan for next year. That required a lot of time, thought, and prayer - above and beyond.

My daughter who is trying to complete her senior year while being a new mom was taking an on-line course which meant she had the computer more than I did.

My husband has been traveling a lot this year for work but we were able to take a wonderful trip to Chicago for a four day weekend by ourselves - no kids. That was much needed. I'm waiting for him to come home from Baltimore today.

In addition to my women's bible study, I began mentoring a friend of my daughter's who is searching for answers to questions like who is God, etc. The birth of our granddaughter has brought many people into our home and has opened up a lot of opportunity for us to share the gospel with others. I am amazed at how God brings people to us, we don't even need to leave our home.

On top of all of that, my mind has been mush lately. There is a lot going on in our lives and sometimes I can't take another thing into my brain much less formulate a clear statement on something for my blog. We've had a long winter here in Wisconsin and have been cooped up inside too long. I need to get out and get some exercise and clear this brain fog.

No excuses - just explaining what has been up in my life and I hope to get back in the swing of things soon.

I hope all is well with all of you. I'll be back soon - don't give up on me!

God's Blessings!
