Ya know I had to use that title, because I am just that geeky. Well, well, well, fancy finding myself here after all of this time.

I've spent the past year or so blogging incognito. I needed that space, that aninimity to work things out in my mind, with myself, with other people to get to where I am now. I closed that space today. I no longer needed it. It has been months since I posted regularly and weeks since I had even logged on.

I found myself thinking that I should wonder back into my old stomping ground to see if blogger had closed it down to inactivity or whatnot, and lo and behold here I am.

It feels good to be putting my own name to my words again.

Had a few momentous happenings since I've been here last. Some good, some not so good. I'll give a real quick run-down in a completely impersonal manner, because, well, it's been over a year and I can't go into all of it of course.

-My grandma died

-In-laws became out-laws and all the crap that goes with that(not legal outlaws, just a divorce amongst the family and all the drama)

-Recreation and redefinition of a few personal relationships

-Severing the ties that bind in a few circumstances

-More surgery on one of the littles, all is well

-Last, but not least, a pregnancy, birth and a BABY!

We had an amazing baby girl, Lillian, on July 30th. I am so totally and utterly in love with this babe that I can not begin to explain it. Her birth story will be forthcoming for those who are interested.

It feels good to be back here again.

Note to Self: Home is the best place there is.

postscript: For some annoying reason blogger will not recognize my space between paragraphs. No, I have not lost all ability to compose a well structured piece of text. I also have not lost my OCDness that would allow me just to post this without the disclaimer. Color me anal.
