i'm baaaaack!

so my heartiest apologies for the month-long+ hiatus from blogging! what can i say? i have four kids...anyway, we are plowing ahead, trying to finish strong in 2010...this has been the fastest year on record for us! it has also felt (at times) like the longest...but regardless, it has been a very full and abundant year...i am feeling the need to reflect which i will do in a later post...in the meantime, we went to hilton head with my folks over thanksgiving...more pix from that promised soon
this is my newest hairdo...if i told you recently that i am planning to grow out my hair, this is a good time to tell you i am a liar... (only intentionally with my hair)...i have the best intentions but i can't handle the awkward phases that accompany hair growth, so this was much more instant gratification-y

notice the middle shepherd? ty rocked out during his christmas program at school
daddy, mommy, and lilly at my birthday dinner in hilton head

here i am with my oldest friend sarah's new baby brandon....i could have held him all day!! you forget how teeny they are!

i promise longer and more plentiful posts coming soon! cheers!
