Sometimes a good writer needs to let an idea percolate in her brain before she shares her brilliance with the world. While that may have nothing to do with the fact that I took a several-month break from the blogging world, I nevertheless feel that it is an appropriate excuse. Either that or I was just having too much fun in the real world to bother with this silly old website.
I didn’t mean it! I’m just being silly! It’s ISTEP week; give me a break. At any rate, I plan to return with a vengeance. Top of my Christmas list is a newer, better digital camera so that I can share pics more easily. I also hope to incorporate some essays about living life as a Smith.
So what has happened in our family since May? Erik got a new job, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We no longer need to return unopened gifts to Wal-Mart so that we can afford groceries. Okay, I only did that once, I swear, but it’s nice not having to live paycheck to paycheck. We continue to car-pool together, which will undoubtedly provide further fodder for my essays.
Ava is bigger, brighter, and even more brilliant—if you can imagine that. There are times I have no words for how wonderful she is. She continues to bless our life and keep us entertained. So far I have been keeping a journal of everything she says, and so far the only people who have read it are myself, Erik, and my mother. I’m hoping to share a few of the more amusing ones on here. I need to spread the knowledge of her humor!
As for me, I am settling into the new school year and enjoying the fact that EVERYONE IN OUR HOUSE NOW SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT! That alone is celebrational enough for an update.
Check back soon for more info.
