I was on a blog hiatus due to being overwhelmed with the start of kindergarten, the onset of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (thankfully resolved now!), the start of a new job (
Safe Families for Children Family Coach), and the snowiest, coldest winter I can remember. While on my hiatus Picasa web albums totally disappeared and I could not figure out how to get them back again. Beloved Aunt Jenise, my most faithful blog reader, texted me back in March to inquire about when she would read a new post. I've been working on it ever since, and finally figured it out today! Thanks for the inspiration Aunt Jenise, this one's for you! :-) Hope you enjoy this pictoral recap of the last eight months!
