I wanted to officially announce that I am taking an open-ended break from blogging. I've been contemplating it for a while and have decided it is the right thing to do. Not that this space is a venue of high traffic or anything, but I wanted to alert folks. I have long struggled with the "blog persona." I love seeing what great friends are up to via their blogs, but I grapple with presenting an "accurate" portrayal of our everyday life and my feelings here.
Additionally, I find myself feeling fraudulent and disingenuous at times when I'm here. And while I love a casual update on life and its goings on--for some reason--digging deeper--both with others and myself--seems more important these days. And for right now, I don't feel like I can meaningfully participate in that exchange here.
I often hear of difficulties adjusting to one (that was me!) or two kids, but for some "the jump from two to three" (and so on) is undoing. Well, as life altering as bringing home our very first baby was, I have since learned that I really fall into the latter category. And while I relish this season, (both the hardships and the sweet rewards), I am trying to focus on absorbing the Lord's grace, His revelations and inspirations, that He is giving us each and every day. And for now, those revelations have resulted in a craving for genuine authenticity and a heart change. One bent towards thanksgiving. A craving to offer praise for the blessings and sincere praises for the storms. I do hope to return to this space again, but as for now, I'll leave you with our three loves--our good and perfect gifts--and the best attempts at capturing them together we've gotten thus far...
My cup. It does indeed runneth over.

I'll miss reading your updates. Guess this means we'll just have to find time to call or email each other. :)
