Where we Stand.

Things around here are different then when I last blogged.  I've toyed with the idea of coming back for months, wanted to and didn't, put off and procrastinated.  But of l ate, I realized I have spent my life doing this.  Waiting until things were perfect.  Luke and Molly will be off to college in just five years and I have spent their whole lives in wait mode.  "When we buy a house, when money is more stable, when Jason finishes school..."  We have five years left before parts of this life start to drift away and I don't want to waste another moment of them.  In the beginning I am expecting this to be a blog about everything and nothing - while I piece together how I got here, but ultimately I want the record of our lives - broken and not perfect that they are to remember it.

So here are - 2015  and there's a new face in the mix  Our last baby -- (and I do mean LAST) Eleanor Kimberly Williams was born this past January.  Her pregnancy was unexpected and incredibly difficult, but as hard things tend to do they put things in perspective and brought about some harsh realities to face.  I hope to write about it someday. But for now, this is her, the last little baby I will ever nurse, or hold all night, or marvel at the smell of Dreft with.
