Unfinished Business
A Happy New Year to you! I took a rather long Christmas break (longer than anticipated, anyhow), but now I’m back! Yay! Aaaand I have some things to say – things I wanted to say before Christmas, but was a little preoccupied with sanity-keeping…

We didn’t go trick-or-treating this year, but I did make a little pumpkin outfit for Bridget. We showed it off at a “Fall Festival” at a farm the weekend before Halloween. A great time was had by all!Laughter.

Is post-posting allowed? You know, posting after the fact? This would have been the post on May 1, had I been so inclined that day. Yes, May 1 it was snowing. Not the wet drippy stuff that you’d expect out of a May snow, either. This stuff was light and fluffy (although it didn’t stick around, and I don’t think it ever stuck to the roads). This week so far the weather has been really nice though, so hopefully this spring is finally deciding to buckle down and be spring.This Never Happens To You, Right?
So I had a totally awesome blog entry written up, full of cleverness and cute pictures (it’s totally okay with me if you imagine it as awesomer than it was), and then POOF! my laptop turned off. Well, it wasn’t exactly POOF…it was kind of like “Warning! Your battery is super low. Your computer will turn off in a little bit to conserve your memory.” And then POOF 10 minutes later it did exactly that. And guess who hadn’t saved her blog entry? Noooo it wasn’t Bridget! Although she “helped” me write the first entry. Yeah. So I lost it. And it was awesome. Way more awesome than you could ever imagine. Really. I’m not making this up (alright, well maybe I am, but no one will ever know for sure just how awesome the Lost Entry was, so I can go ahead and talk it up as much as I want. Kind of like a modern techie version of the Fish That Got Away). Given the tragic circumstances, I’m just going to give you guys some photos (I’ll try to not make them ALL of Bridget), and call it a day, ‘k? ‘K. Awww yeah. This is one of my favorite photos of Bridget, taken about a month ago when she was coming up on 3 months. This is Bridget and Sarah Grace’s Godmother, Amy, taken on Pascha (the Orthodox Easter). I found out this year that “Pascha” comes from the Hebrew for “Passover”. Just a fun fact there for ya’. And finally, a spot of beauty in the ‘midst of the deserted wasteland that is my garden (well, at least deserted with the exception of a few eccentric volunteer cilantro plants and some timid radishes. And yes, I like to impose human qualities on my plants, much to their dismay). That’s all for today, folks! And just in case you wondered, I have saved this post more often that would be considered normal. Just so ya know. Have an awesome evening!Incredible Joys
Thank you all for your congratulations and well-wishes! I am so blessed to have such amazing friends. You are all an incredible joy to me.
Aaand…speaking of incredible joys…

I’m going to be gone for a couple of weeks – my sis-in-law is getting married! – so I thought I’d give you all a little something to muse over in the meanwhile.
