Dear Blog

Are you feeling neglected? Left out? Ignored?  As well you should! It has been a long time since I have come to you to pour my heart out. 

There are lots of reasons I have not come to you. I have been busy, life has happened.  As someone was once heard to say, "and the hits just keep on coming." That is how it has felt lately. There are so many things in our lives to be grateful for, we have wonderful family and an amazing daughter. We have our gorgeous new home that we love. There is so much joy, but as in any family we have our sorrows too - Toddler D has been sick. We spent a few days in the hospital and let me tell you there is nothing sadder than watching a 20 month old lay on an exam table with her arm out stretched so that a team of nurses can try for 4 hours to get an iv in her. No fighting it, no struggling against it, only saying over and over again "Good Girl".  It was enough to make a grown army doctor cry (and me too!).  She is on the mend now, but the doctor said it is going to be a month to a month and a half before she is back to her old self again.

Good things are happening every day though and new ideas are being born. We will see what the future holds for us, I am excited about things on the horizon.

I am sorry for ignoring you, this isn't the first time and it probably won't be the last either.  You are important to me, but you also come last.

Love, Mrs. D
