Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Well, have you heard the saying before?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Well I wasn't really testing you all.  It just seems that way. :)  Life's been pretty hectic.

We've had an awesome foster boy almost all year.  He's 3....goes to preschool, is busy, loud, funny, and comes with other schedules and meetings during the day.  So that adds to the daily schedule.
We homeschool, and this year is two different lesson plans for 1st and 3rd grade.  I originally thought it would be the hardest year of all so far.  Maybe isn't the hardest year, but takes much more time, and a different schedule than we are used to.  On top of a busy 3 year old foster boy who was full time, with a schedule of his own.  In otherwords, life's been pretty hectic.
And when the schedule gets hectic the thing that has to fall out is the blog.  As much as I love to write on here.....I don't really get many comments from you all.  I mean, all the blogs I check have oodles of comments tagged to each and every post.  Don't get me wrong, I do it because I love sharing my things, not because I need comments.  But, hey comments are nice.  It's nice to know someone is actually looking at your blog, enjoying, reading it, learning something from it, using some resources from it, or something.  So after awhile I didn't feel bad about not posting for long periods of time.
But in the last month, people have verbally been asking me about the blog.  Super nice to hear from you!  Thanks for letting me know you read it, and that you are looking forward to me posting more frequently again.  It's does a heart good. :)

Look for some Christmas posts, my Christmas card and letter, details on our trips and much more coming your way soon!
