little brother has acquired the nickname "Dirt Pile."  it came about when we couldn't remember the name of the boy on Charlie Brown that has the cloud of dust follow him around everywhere.  turns out it was Pig Pen, but Dirt Pile just stuck.  you can see why.

this kid turned five.  yeah, it was a few months ago, but I am still getting used to the idea.

The Chatter {playing catch up}

I haven't blogged forever.  Period.  I firmly believe there is a season for everything, a time and a place, etc, etc.  Life has been happening here, changes have been taking place, decisions have been pondered and prayed about, and we have ended up in a wonderful way, but not how I pictured our lives being at this point.  It's better.  So the next few posts (okay, A LOT of posts) will be me trying to update on the past few months.  If you want to join in my reminiscence and my thoughts, enjoy!

{one} can't get enough of this sunshine.
{two} built a new house.  moved in.  LOVE!
{three} one of life's small pleasures is great neighbors.
{four} littlest brother's heart is pumping strong!  next cardiologist visit: 2015.  Woot Woot!!
{five} i get to behold, kiss, snuggle and squeeze a miracle every day.
{six} peonies blooming in my garden.  can't tell you how long I have waited for this day.
{seven} lake powell in the spring may be one of my new favorite things.
{eight} kids hair is starting to get long again.  thumbs down for the buzz cut.
{nine} big direction change in my career.  lots of pondering and prayer.  nervous for something new, but excited because it feels so right.
{ten} finally starting to feel like myself again.  3rd baby put this ol' bod of mine through the ringer.

that's enough for now.

Not too shabby for the self timer, eh??  That's what happens when there is a semi-photographer in the family...  I lovely love that last one of just our little fam so so much!  Yes, that is our 2 month old hanging upside down.  We like to live dangerously...
