We're coming back!!!!

I'm so excited to officially type here that I'M COMING BACK TO BLOGGING!!! I won't get into all that has happened in the last year or so YET but big changes have occurred (not all wonderful, but certainly educational). Just sitting down and writing these words has suddenly transformed me. I'm filled with new hope, energy and excitement! I can't wait to share with you, but first I have to get home to my family (A. and I are visiting her Mama and Papa (my inlaws)). I will also sit down and think about what I want this new blog to incorporate. I miss the close connection to my daughter's ongoing development, how she learns and what fuels her passions. I miss the blogging community of amazing moms and their heartfelt drive to give every opportunity they can to their children's growth in all areas of life. I also miss myself, as a productive, giving, loving and dynamic woman who has the time to see, really see her family which then fills my being with such gratitude and overwhelming love and in turn allows me to give myself fully to them. AAAAAhhhhhh, big sigh! Be seeing you soon!

Love is Everywhere...

On our vacation Aa.-girl and I were as I see it, blessed by the universe with gifts of symbols of love wherever we went. The first one was courtesy of a log in our campsite. I saw it and thought "wow, that's pretty cool" Love Log is what we dubbed it.

Then we came across this rock on the path of our long day hike. Coincidence? I for one don't believe in coincidence. Being 2 years old and pure of heart Aa. of course just took it all in stride. Of course all is love Mommy!

The third made itself known in the grass outside a little community artisans store. My non-coincidence belief was strengthened.

This next one was dug up by Aa.-girl in a public sandbox outside the artisans store. Some people might think that this is getting a little weird by now. I however was delighted and awe-inspired.

This last one was found at Grandma and Grandpa T's house when we arrived back from our camping trip. What better way to end a camping trip than to be reminded that Love is Everywhere by the love nut!
