Resurrection

This morning I stumbled upon this ol' blog.  Wow, how life has changed since I last posted!  Back then we were a family three.  We had just had a miscarriage and weren't sure we would have more babes.  I think that maybe my sadness and grief just kept me away from wanting to write about family life.  I remember Jeff and I being surprised by the intensity of our grief.  It rattled me.  I stopped blogging and now that I consider it, it may be no coincidence that I also dropped out of the moms group I was in.

I'm glad that season of grief is over.  And now I think it's time to resurrect this blog.  I crafted this title "Resurrection" weeks ago when I first drafted this post.  I didn't mean for the issuing of this to fall on Easter weekend, but I think it's cool that it has.  

I've thought a lot about what to write about.  We have definitely bounced back from where we were a few years ago.  We now have three blessings in total: Izzy (age 4), Addie (age 2) and Jonah (age 7 months).  Life.is.busy.  I'm not sure "busy" is actually a word that is up to the challenge of describing what it is like to have three kids under age five.  Crazy.  Chaotic.  Joyful.  Comical. Exhausting. Deepening. 

I have grown incredibly since becoming a mom.  It has brought me to my knees.  That's a phrase I have a new understanding of because I truly could not get through this without God's good help and merciful grace!  

I hope I can share some of this adventure and, in doing so, bless someone out there in the blogopshere.  Is that a real word?  More to come soon.
