So Long 2013...

WOW!  It's been almost 6 months since I posted to this blog.  YIKES!!  I started this blog to track our adventures as a family and as a creative outlet.  My first post was the beginning of last year.  I was almost 8 months pregnant with Miss A.  and I didn't want to forget anything we did.  So I made it through about April with posting, and then our computer died, and then life picked up pace and then I took on more and more projects and our family was involved in more and more things.  Oh yeah, and Miss A didn't like to sleep through the night.  (It's super hard to be creative when you have not had a full nights sleep in over a year...UGH!)  And so the blog sort of went by the wayside.  Oh well, it has been sitting here waiting for me to come back.  If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.  So that's exactly what I am going to do.  Try again!  New year, new try.
