So, its been a while since I have tended my little blog. The thing is this: I have had a lot of heavy things on my mind and have not come to any conclusions yet. I feel like I need to have the problem worked out and answered in order to write about it for it to be of any use to anybody. So, I've written nothing. Maybe I'll just set those things aside for now and think about something else...
It has been a long cold winter. We've spent far too much time indoors and watched way too much TV. We finally had enough on a few mildly blustery days and bundled up and went out anyway. (These pictures are from early January)
Spring is on its way and will be here soon. I know this because I bought garden seeds today. Yay :)
Lately I have had some opportunity to spend some time with my nieces and nephews and it has been wonderful.
My oldest nephew is in middle school and is on their archery team. He's a great kid and I recently was able to attend the tournament that his school hosted. He even sat by me while he was waiting for his time to shoot and we got some good visiting in. He loves to read and was telling me about some books that will change my life, like the Harry Potter series. After he was all done shooting, we went out for lunch. Just the two of us. It was a grand day.
My youngest niece got baptized yesterday. It was such a special day for all of us. Even though she was sick with a cold, she was awake and interested in everything going on. Mostly I think she wanted to go for a swim in the baptismal font. After the ceremony, we went out for brunch as a family and had a little celebration for her. There is just something so peaceful and magical about seeing a baby baptized and I am so glad that I got to be there to witness it.
Soon, the weather will be warmer, there will be green grass and flowers where there is now only snow and there will be a lot more to write about.
Until then,
Happy Monday!
