Hey there!  I can't believe I have been away for so long!  I have missed you all, my dear faithful friends.  Thanks for all the kind notes of encouragement.  There certainly is a time for everything, and we have been through a lot lately, but it is all "in its season." 

If you have a chance, tomorrow you can read my front porch post and get a bit of an inkling about what is important to me right now.  Being HOME for one thing, and just happy to be alive and loving my family.  Many lessons are being learned right now.  Thankful for the Grace of God!

 I was away on my birthday!  Rats!  That means I didn't get to notify everyone in advance and then get a whole slew of crazy birthday poems.  Oh well!  At least I have last years on file!  :)

This was an amazing birthday gift however!  Take a look at this:  Brandie posted the most wonderful review of my hair cutting e-book!   I tell you what, that was a super nice birthday surprise.  Didn't she do an awesome job on those haircuts?  Way to GO Brandie!!!  Thank you so much for your WONDERFUL review.  May the Lord heap blessings upon you and your lovely family!  I just can't thank you enough. 

Well, this is short and I really have some wonderful stories to tell you and some photos to post, but I am so tired and just need to get some needed shut-eye.  Hope you are all well!  Enjoy your kids, they grow up so fast!  Love your husband, and most importantly,

Praise God for ALL things,

Nancy
