Checking In

We are alive!

We are here!

We are just overwhelmed with all the stuff going on that keeps me from sitting down and actually completing a post.  I have several "drafts" but nothing finished.  So I figured I'd just check in quickly in hopes of catching up soon on all the happenings.

I can't believe how quickly the days, weeks, months (!) have flown by.  I can't believe that Halloween and Thanksgiving are a fond memory, Christmas is knocking on our door, and our little baby will be making his (!) arrival in just 9 short weeks (!!).  Is this all really happening?  I can't wrap my brain around it.  I have so much to say about Ella and how much she's grown, about how Adam and I celebrated 5 years of marriage while scarfing down a three course meal in thirty minutes because we're conditioned to eat fast and chase the little one around, about how this pregnancy has taught me so much more about giving up control and letting God take the reigns of my body, my emotions, and my ideals of motherhood.  So much to say and so little time.  But I hope this checking in will kickstart my blogging once again.

In the meantime, we are just trying to enjoy this holiday season and taking things one day at a time, knowing it won't be like this again.  Stop.  Breathe.  And savor this special time in our lives.

Here's to catching up soon!!
