clean the dust off

My mom asked me today if I gave up my blog...
No, I was just feeling like all I was doing was complaining so I felt like a break was needed.
I think when the 2's hit finding joy becomes something intentional you need to do.   Its so easy to fall into the always, never, is this truly the life I signed up for trap.  But then there is a kind friend, a restful night, and a great verse and  everything seems so easy possible again.  

So here is our update:
Christmas was great, except for a hospital trip and some puking.  Long story
New years eve was fun...but more puking.
January has begun basketball for Dylan. Although football is still his love.
Ty is doing 12th grade vocabulary in school to "challenge" himself.  It's hard to help your 6th grader study when you have no idea if his answers are right (or even how to to pronounce the words).
And Mas...oh Mas, he will begin speech with birth to three.  Sleeping is still an experiment, and he loves to cook.  He wants to be there stirring with me.   It's really too cute.  
Steve will begin tax season soon. I will see him in April ; 0)
Me...I'm enjoying cooking meals in my new kitchen with a real dishwasher.   So nice..

See there is joy, just have to clean the dust off to find it.
