i'm here

it has been awhile, huh? I have wanted to and thought about it often, but when it can down to it, i never got around to writing a new post. but here i am.... ready to get back into the world of blogging, ready to share about my sweet family and ready to show you what i have been sewing.

a lot has happened in the months i have "been away" ... so here it goes... it won't be too long, i promise...

my sweet daddy passed away on April 9th, after battling cancer for several months. it was a difficult time but i know he was ready to rest.

during that time we found out we were expecting! it was exciting and bittersweet all at the same time. we have recently found out that it is a boy and due November 6th.

my sweet sister-in-law gave birth to the cutest little boy, Samuel Joseph, in February. and Sara and I have had the pleasure of hanging out with him three days a week. it has been such great practice for all of us!

Sara turned two! can't believe it! we had a small celebration with bubbles and burgers.

And Ryan started his last year of law school last week!

So a lot has been going on.
We enjoyed the summer... sad to see it go. but i am ready to start this new season of baby preparation and new projects.

sorry for taking forever to post and update this space... but i'm back and ready to share some pictures... so stick around.
