I'm still here!!

Hello! I have not disappeared off the face of the earth :) I've received quite a few messages and comments lately wondering if I'm going to continue the blog. I am!!! I've been taking a little break since my last post in mid-January. I was finishing our first year of homeschool and gearing up for my last season teaching survival swim lessons in Pensacola. This swim season was even busier then last year and then in June we had a new baby girl :)

Liadan Allison Laura, 1 week old
I took 3 weeks off then taught 3 more weeks of lessons before we left Pensacola to move to Japan! We're taking a circuitous route to Japan via Rhode Island and England because Matt has a class he has to take and then we're taking an extended vacation. It's always an adventure in this house!! I hope to be settled in Japan and blogging again by the end of October. In the meantime I'm going to be enjoying having nothing to do all day but hang out with my three favorite little people. Look for me in October!


P.S. Aren't these pics of my kids awesome?!?! I know I'm a little biased of course :) But if you live in Pensacola and want awesome pics of your kids/family/dog/business/wedding/etc like these ones, contact my awesome friend, Elishia, with EBouley Photography at 850-686-5580 or EBouleyPhotos@gmail.com. You won't be disappointed!

    1. Heather, Angel Dear lovies are the best!!! We never find out the sex of our babies until they are born and, oddly, the only stressful thing about not knowing is not being able to pick their lovie beforehand. We already had the green froggy when Colwynn was born but, after seeing just how much he REALLY loved his lovie, selecting the lovie for Theron was quite the process. It's like their initiation into the family LOL. This time around Matt and I picked a top four and we let the boys make the final decision... and we immediately bought two since it's not a matter of IF but WHEN lovie will get misplaced (temporarily or otherwise). I'm glad to hear your boys love their lovies too!

  3. I recently came across your blog and have tried several recipes. I was wondering if you were going to keep it going, so I'm glad you posted. Congrats on your little girl. We had our 2nd little boy in March ourselves! We're in Fay, NC, but know a couple different people in Japan and wouldn't mind going there some day ourselves! So, what is your baby girl's name?!? The other two are quite original and being a former teacher, I'm always interested!

    1. Congrats to you too! And thanks for reading my blog :) Her name is Liadan, an old Irish name pronounced Lee-uh-din (or as my husband says Leah and din as in dinner).
