Life...

Here's a lovely quote from my calendar today:

At the moment you are most in awe of all there is about life that you don't understand, you are closer to understanding it all than at any other time.

 ~Jane Wagner

I had an experience of this type when I was at a conference for work last week.  I realized that, on one hand, I do know a lot and should have confidence in myself, but on the other, there's so much more I need to learn! 

I've been terrible about updating the blog lately, I apologize for that.  Life has been very very busy with a visit from my mom and then a week away for a bit of vacation and then the conference.  Being back on-island hasn't made life feel any less hectic as I am looking at three separate week-or-longer-long holidays over the next few months.  It's all good stuff, all holidays I am looking forward to, but it sure does make life busy!

AK is amazing, as always.  We have been butting heads a little bit lately though...  the other night when I was nagging her to eat her dinner, she put her head into her hands and said "Mommy, you're giving me a headache!".  Ha!  I told her she wasn't the only one who felt that way! 

My favorite part of the day is right when I put AK to bed, I turn out the lights in her room and she turns on her new glow-ladybug.  The ladybug has a moon and stars cut out so the different colored lights inside shine the moon and stars onto the ceiling.  We talk about the different colors and which one is our favorite (purple/blue is the clear winner) and we always look for the big Dipper.  Apparently more constellations are there, I just need to learn what they look like so I can identify them!

I hope to blog some stories and pictures from my mom's visit soon.  We missed Dad terribly but I think Mom enjoyed her time here and it sounds like Dad had fun with Chris and his family as well! 

See you soon...  I hope!  xo
