That's the sound of my pitiful blog flatlining. It's been two months and I've failed to check in. I'm sorry friends. I have excuses up the whazoo, but the truth is I've just been putting it off.
At first, it was because I felt God calling me to resign from my office job and I wasn't ready to share that information with the world wide web until it became official in March. I can actually say it's been THE best decision I've made as a mother. Not only do I get to spend all my time loving on these two babies who are so new to the concept of family love, but I get to give the best of me to my family. No longer am I drained from a day of stressors and other things, coming home with little left of me. I now allow myself to be uplifted by people and situations around me and I'm revelling in it!
Once my resignation date came into effect, I kept telling myself, "Tomorrow. I'll get to the blog tomorrow..." A week or so of that, and I just didn't even know where to begin anymore.

The other day, as I was in the shower--one of the few times of day I get to take a minute and think in silence--I realized that I was not only letting myself (and possibly my readers) down by not writing, I'm letting my kids down. After we returned from Russia, I used my blog as a journal, chronicling family firsts and other memorable moments. I haven't done that in several weeks now. I owe it to my children to keep track of these special first few months. They have no written record of the first year, two years of their life. I want to make up for that.
So... I truly want to get back into the habit of blogging. I hope you'll see more of me...

Welcome back! Hope things are going well.
We need kid pictures :).
Yaaay! It's a PAIN, and I'm behind too on my blog, but it's been such a pleasure to read back on old posts. Plus it's helpful when one of them goes through a phase and you can't remember how it went... Hopefully we'll both get better soon ;)
I think you know how I feel about your decision about the job ;) YAY!!
I'm glad to see you blogging again - I'm kind of feeling my way through the blog experience myself. I look forward to more from you - I am so happy to see your joy and your beautiful children. God bless!
