Back from the blog grave

Hey, remember when I used to blog regularly, well semi-regularly, well more than ONCE A YEAR. Those were simpler times. I was debating whether to do a whole, let me update you on everything that has happened since my last blog post but that seems tedious and also 2020 has been crazy enough for most of us.

And while I don’t want to simply do a recap post, I do want to start up regular blogging again. I have always enjoyed it and I miss writing here. I have been doing more microblogging of sorts over on my Instagram, so I love you all for following along there. I tend to alternate between feelings posting and topical here are my cute kids posting, which makes sense for Instagram methinks. But this is my original, the OG, my first true writing love and I just want to reunite with this here platform.

So welcome back loyal reader, it’s nice to see you again.

Oh yeah, most notably, we are expecting again. We will be saying hi to a new little brother around Christmas 2020. We are excited and very tired already ha.

Dinner was ready and on the table for Paul when he got home after a stressful day at work. I cried.
I made a carrot cake (from the box) and it was so beautiful. I cried.

Lots of happy crying. 
But there was some of the other kind of crying too.
