Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans...

I'm sure that many of you can relate to the great John Lennon's above quote.  As a SAHM (stay at home mom) to a 2 1/2 year old, that quote couldn't be more of my every day life.  I had very high hopes for this blog when I began it quite a few years ago.  At that time, I was thrust back into being an Army wife, keeping my family and friends updated on my husband's deployment and our ventures to buy a house.  I had all the time in the world to sleep in, go shopping, go to the beach, hang out with friends and spend hours updating everyone via email or the blog.  Well, times they have changed.  My days are now filled with cartoons, snack time, going to the park, watching the same movies over and over, playing cars, trains and planes...all while taking care of the home and keeping up with the laundry, grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning.  Oh and let us not forget that independent, full of energy and spirit little boy!  Normally, I would apologize for not keeping up with the blog and for not posting in such a long time.  Am I sorry?  Yes, I am.  I know that this is a way for many of you to see what is going on with our family and to see new pictures of Cash.  But I will not apologize for NOT taking time out of my busy day to do a weekly blog post because I feel obligated.  Time with my baby boy (I know, he is almost 3 and most definitely NOT a baby anymore) and family time with my husband and son are far more important...especially now more than ever.  We will never get back these days and moments.  And while I would like to choose to forget certain times and moments (can we say terrible twos??), I am trying to soak in every single moment and lock it away in my memory.  So I will say this...I will do my best to update more often.  Will it happen as often as I would like?  Probably not.  Will it happen as often as some of you would like?  I don't know.  All I can say is that I will do my best to make monthly posts.  With that being said, I will try to get caught up on our year so far.  With Thanksgiving coming up the end of this week, I know that I have so very much to be thankful for...including those of you that are still following along on our blog!  So thank you...and I wish many blessings to you and your families during this holiday season!
