I've Been a Bad, Bad Blogger

I'm back. After a 10 week hiatus, I'm ready to take responsibility for my blog once again. In case anyone is still reading and checking back for updates, your long wait is over. I last posted in June and shortly after my last post, we had a huge life changing event occur. We adopted a beautiful, amazing, perfect little girl. She was born in June and let me just say I never realized how quickly and completely I could fall in love with someone. I fell in love with her even faster than I fell in love with John, and as those of you who know me know, that was pretty darn fast. She is such a miracle and I can't imagine life without her here. Of course, John is absolutely smitten too. He is completely and utterly wrapped around her finger. Here is a shot of John holding the pumpkin a few hours after she was born:

I love the eye contact. Here's another fun shot of the whole family:

That shot was actually taken was the Pumpkin was only a week old. We were at my niece's wedding in Vegas. Here's another shot from the wedding breakfast:

So life is good, and now that things have settled down, I'll be blogging once again. And believe me, I have lots to catch you all up on! Stay tuned....

EEEK! Congrats! I had heard a rumor.... I'm so glad it's true! If you had been an absentee blogger for this long without this being the reason, well, let's just say I wouldn't have ever let you make me egg rolls again. Okay, never mind, that is a bit extreme (I wasn't thinking clearly there for a moment, obviously!).

I am so happy for you! We still really need to get together, you know.

I've seen the pix on Facebook, but wanted to get the full story on your precious one. My husband is adopted, too. I think his parents are the most amazing people. I find it fascinating that my husband and father-in-law share no DNA, but are so much alike. Something about sealing power . . . I'm sure you'll find that's true too.
