back on my path

I've been on a blogging hiatus, my longest yet.  I've got a lot of posting that will be sure to happen in the next few weeks, okay days, possibly even more than one post in the same day...we'll see! I just haven't been feeling quite myself lately and with that, had a little bit of blogging burnout. My camera has been a little lonely lately, but has managed to visit every now and then-like the last ski weekend (for Erik), or in our case, building snow castles:

I started to feel a little more like me when I went to San Diego to welcome my new niece, Lily:

and of course to congratulate my beautiful sister, Jennifer and her husband, Jessy, on baby #3:

It was hard to say goodbye after meeting her and seeing her for just a few days! I am happy that we will get to visit and take a fun family trip to Southern California for the Summer.

Yes, blog burn out got to me alright, so much so, that I didn't even post on my dear sweet Anna's 2nd birthday! It's not a second kid thing either. I write in her baby book, take pictures, video, all that good stuff, but I've just been too exhausted. Thankfully, we just celebrated her birthday yesterday, so I'm making sure to capture her special day soon on my blog, just as I did for Kieran.

School is quickly coming to a close (thank goodness!) and I can only keep praying that it means that I will have my job back for the follwing school year. For now, the sun is shining, it finally feels like Spring, and slowly but surely, I'm back on my path.
