Wow! I have let the time slip by here. YES, I have taken pictures each of those days since I last posted- can't believe it was last May 20th!!! I will post a few here and there to keep you caught up!!! BUT, for now, I just wanted to post that I will return! I actually tried getting on here a couple of times that blogger was doing maintenance or something and I couldn't log in! Oh well.

Reasons for my unplanned hiatus: life here became very hectic, especially where Ethan is concerned. I keep feeling like "normal" is becoming new every day, sometimes every minute. Living with a child with mental illness is not for the faint of heart.

It's easy for it to consume me, and I play the "what ifs". I need to remember to let God handle those and focus on the here and now!!!

In happy news: my inlaws will arrive in just a few hours (I am typing this at 4 a.m.- can't sleep!!!) Then, on Sunday, we are all (after church), hitting the road for the Yellowstone area! We are super excited and well, just let me tell you... this vacation is so very needed! Praying Ethan does well with the change in routine. It's not been pretty around here the past few days.

I plan to post a picture each day of the trip.... stay tuned!
