snowshoeing in late fall with the little bug
Sigh. I had plans. So many plans. I don’t regret that I have spent the last year cuddling a baby with big cheeks, and singing the same bedtime song every night, watching Lars throw our child into the air to make her squeal with delight, wiping boogies and poop, and hanging fresh clean diapers on the clothesline in the morning sun, waiting in the car for a much needed nap to revive a sleepy mama and baby pair, or all of the other mundane, trivial, frustrating and joyful daily happenings of parenthood.
I happened upon the blog maus + nugget today. It resonated with me. It’s sort of how I imagined this blog would go this past year. Somehow reading it (lets be honest I actually scanned it in my mama “I don’t have time to to anything thoroughly and I need to do it fast because I won’t have time later and she’ll wake up in a minute and I still have to go to the bathroom” mode) made me feel better. I guess relating to someone else is almost as good as following through with my plan to write and share.
I do regret that I let myself go so long without blogging because it signals to me that I have not made time for myself. I mostly write for myself and for that feeling that I’m sending my thoughts out there which somehow connects me to a community of people. I feel like I really needed community this year. And I think I’ve started to find it, but it’s never the same when you have left people behind that you really care about. Tear, I still miss you Portland friends.
Our little life has changed this year in so many ways as you can read in the ‘about’ blurb. So, I’m changing gears and turning this into a photo blog. Funny, since this is so wordy. Mostly photos about the house but also about us, our little bug and turning this old house into our home.
Next up, the house.
