a perfect break

wow. i had no intention of taking such a long break from this place. but, in all honesty, i never ONCE thought about stopping what i was doing (playing with my kids, taking a nap, preparing food for people i love, talking to my husband, being with friends and family...) and blogging. not once.

but now everyone is back to work and school. and i just uploaded hundreds of pictures off multiples cameras and phones. it's going to take some time to go through them and find words to do them justice. which i will do, because we made some precious memories that must be documented. and i so look forward to re-living the last 2 weeks as i post about them!

for now, we are GOOD. we had a perfect break. not "every single moment was perfect" (cause that's not possible!!) but just a perfect balance between those days FULL of life and those days to just BE and REST. a perfect balance between CRAZY and calm. a perfect balance between DOING and just being. NO one was ready for this morning to come...especially me! and i can't remember that last time i was sad to see christmas break end. this is SUCH a sweet thing for my heart (and for my family - ha!)

God was gracious to us and we ended the year 2014 on a GOOD note. i'm so very thankful.
