I know, I know. It's been awhile, eh? Maybe you aren't even checking this blog anymore. But if you are - hi! :o) I always said to myself that if I quit blogging, I'd let my reader(s) know instead of leaving them 'hanging'. So seeing as I am saying "hi", I guess this means I am not quitting.
But yes, it's been over a month since my last post. To blog has been on my mind a bit, but I truly have not felt like it at all. I think a big part of it is two-fold.
The first part of not feeling like it is because I have been too busy enjoying my moments with my family. It is really, really, really hitting me that in a month and a bit, my baby girl is going to be in school full-time. Every.single.day. I can't think of this. My heart can't take it. I am going to miss her so much. I hope and pray my heart gets a little stronger in the next weeks, or September I am going to be an absolute wreck.
The other part of not feeling like blogging is that I am becoming more and more aware that my kids are getting older. Meaning, would they appreciate it that I share so much about them? After all, it is *their* lives, too, and I am not so sure they will like it that I share things about them to people "out there". I question this - whether it is my right to share things about them, seeing as they are getting older and it is really their life. When they were little, this didn't bother me, but now it has been taking up some mental space, and could be the very reason why I may make the decision to stop blogging. I will continue to pray about this - and I will certainly let you know when/if I write my last post.
On to some pictures of our goings-on. It's been a Canada Day celebrating, ice-creaming, camping (1 trip done, 1 more to go this summer!), swimming in the pool, play-dating, beaching, painting (rainy days), hair cutting, baby-holding, kind of summer. And we are enjoying every minute of it!!
(no, Keziah is not having a time-out away from the fire in the above picture. That is where she likes to sit for the fire, or else "it's too hot". As you can see below, despite sitting in the back row, she is enjoying it!! :o)
This blog will most likely be quiet again for the next while, as we will be busy celebrating a 6th birthday (gasp!!!), camping and just savouring our days together as a family. I hope and pray you are doing well, finding God in the quiet and/or busy moments. He is there, ever-present. Such a comfort and gives so much peace. May His grace fill you and may you then share that grace with those He has placed on your path.
