No, I did not drop off the face of the earth, but I certainly dropped off the blogosphere for a while.  I’ve been going full speed ahead with life and this part of it has been pushed way down on the list of where I spend my valuable blocks of time these days…just not enough hours in the day for it all.  

Daddy gave me a major blessing a few months ago.  I was asked to be the costume designer for an upcoming local presentation of the Broadway musical, Godspell.  In a former life (before kids) I used my BFA in Fashion Design to help pay the bills, working as a designer for a clothing company.  Since my oldest was 6 months old, though, I have been a SAHM and using my creative skills randomly as time allows.  Getting the opportunity to take on such an endeavor as Godspell has really opened my eyes to the fact that there is still a place in my life for art, a passion of mine for as long as I can remember.  Daddy has given me abilities for a purpose and I have put them aside for another season.  Well, I’m beginning to see that the season has arrived, or at least one of the seasons, and it’s good to be stretching my limbs again, dusting off the sketchbooks, and using that right side of my brain once more.  I am thankful.  He simultaneously opened up the door to teach art 2 times a week to the middle schoolers in a newly formed homeschooling co-op.  I think that there is a theme here.  :)

So, as far as baby stuff goes there will be little to report, I’m afraid.  My life is so full right now and I’m enjoying every minute (okay, almost every minute!) of the 3 kiddos that I have.  Daddy has been gracious enough to slowly weed that baby lust right out of me for the time being and possibly forever and replaced it  with those things that bring me so much joy that I had set aside for “better” things.  How gentle and loving He is with us!
