We're back! {and an announcement!}

So vacation has come and gone, a whirlwind of beach sand, mini golf, forth of July fireworks and...morning sickness. Yep, you read that right: We're expecting our 4th child (due in February)! I just wanted to take the time to explain the reason for my prolonged absence from the blogosphere, which has a whole lot to do with exhaustion, queasiness...and did I mention exhaustion?! Indeed, first trimester has gotten the better of me, and I have had zero energy to do much of anything but, well, sleep. The chores have fallen behind, and I've been feeling a bit like a big old lump of...well, something icky that doesn't move much (see, I can't even think of a good analogy, here!). But alas, I'm happy to report that week by week I'm getting a wee bit of my energy back, as my first trimester draws to a close. I promise I'll soon return to my regularly scheduled ramblings, ponderings and other bloggy musings!

So in the meantime, check out our newest little bean! Isn't he/she just the cutest thing ever?! We think so, though I may be just a tad bit biased. :)
