A New Launch

A new chapter of life. A new blog in its' honor. Seems appropriate.....

I am excited to finally be sending this new blog out into cyberspace, etching our fun family memories onto a screen for my sentimental safe-keeping, and sharing them with you because... apparently you care! Thank you for your patience and your occasional gentle reminders that you miss reading about our life happenings - makes me feel loved.

As you can imagine, we have had a crazy few months. We have climbed and crashed and sat stationary and sped and coasted on the roller coaster called "major life transition". It has been a journey - and it ain't over. We left our Mexico Querido mid June, rain pouring down as we took the final drive out of Mexico City, tears softly blending with the very perfectly timed music playing in the background. I am just that way - breathing in the moment, trying to experience it fully. It is now mid September and we have felt and experienced a wide range of emotions through these "re-settling" months. All in all - we are well - we are adjusting - some days are easy - some aren't quite. Most importantly we are together in it. We miss many things about Mexico on a daily basis and yet we are finding good in the "today" as well. Four boys keep life hopping and so we are regularly called to the reality of living in the moment. There are always things to be done and normal, routine-ness of daily activity. That is a good thing.

As I said, lots has happened and is always happening that is worth remembering. I have several posts long written in my head about funny things the kids have said and done since last blogging. Doubt the time is to be found to sit down and get it all "caught up" in one evening, so we will just have to see how it all comes together "poca a poco"...

I believe that at the heart of most blogs is simply a place for the author to write - to think out loud - to record special things. This one will be no different. Nothing all that profound, yet perhaps, at times, in its simplicity, very profound. Profound and unique because it is me, writing about mine. That matters. To me at least. And if you want to read and smile and laugh and reflect alongside me, you are invited to do so! My four boys have - and will always - teach me and remind me and challenge me and call me to the important things in life...and tonight I am thankful for that.

May the blogging continue...
