Life Goes On

Did you know that even if you don't post on your blog, life still goes on?

It doesn't stand still like you imagine it will. Kids still grow up, one is baptized, one turns 5, summer comes and goes, then there is Halloween (another year older) and Christmas and everything in between. Time goes by and no pictures are posted, no funny, happy, new or sad events are mentioned. Before you realize it, an addition is made to the family, finally a reason for a little (or a lot) of pink around the house. Boys are suddenly helping with the sister that they have been asking for the last 3 years. They love her and hold her, and fight over who gets to do sit by Annie in the car...yep, she is already ruling the house! I have long lived in the land of denial, but lets be honest, it doesn't stop time.

So, life goes on.

I took a huge step for me and accepted a position with AirMed as a high risk OB flight nurse. Loving every second, wishing I kept my camera in my pocket, and feeling just a little bit scared. Add an eye surgery that will eventually make things so much better (hopefully), Heather and her kids have moved out (CONGRATS!), and they are missed more than they know.

So, yes life just goes on and the last 3 months have been a little crazy around here.


Levi is on his way home from Georgia, and the last 2 weeks have been long. Time has a funny way of slowing down on it's own terms. Having him gone always gives me more empathy to single parents! "Deployment" is occasionally being mentioned again in our house. Yes, definitely living in denial when that comes up.


Baseball season is here, and as it happens every spring, life gets a little crazier. Cort is playing for the first year, and finally a sport he enjoys. Luke loves every second! His arm is getting stronger, he has an amazing coach, and the games are a blast. Win or lose.

And, then, we enjoy the ride as life goes on!
