Wow! What a month this has been. : )<\/p>\n

Daniel made his entrance to the world a few days ahead of his scheduled induction. Which was a real blessing because I was dreading labor (those pitocin induced contractions are killer!). It was actually a very easy labor and delivery and by 2:40 am it was all over and I had an 8 pound 11 oz baby boy in my arms sweetly nursing and lovely warm blankets wrapped around my legs. <\/p>\n

After one week to recover it was time to get ready for Christmas. Following on the heels of Christmas, I had the 14 and 8 year olds birthdays (just family parties — friend parties to follow in a few weeks) and then New Year’s. On our final day of vacation, I find myself looking forward to a return to routine, a little more quiet around the house, and a less-rich diet– even though I’ve got enough ham and turkey leftover to feed us for a week or two…<\/p>\n

After much thought and consideration, I did pick a word for the year. Big surprise but my word is silence. I have a post in draft on that topic — maybe I’ll get it up tonight.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been working (or attempting to work) on another photography project. Actually, I should say my partner, Cheryl, has been working on it, while I recovered from the birth and tried to get my act together between everything else. It’s called Faith-filled Photographers and our goal is to offer prompts and tutorials every week that focus on how our Christian faith inspires our creativity and our photography. Check us out here<\/a>! Cheryl has done a great job really setting the groundwork for the posts.<\/p>\n

Okay — now to attempt a Texture Tuesday shot. I’ve got lots of baby pictures that I can use!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
