Long Hiatus

It's been a long time. Really long. More than four years, I think, since I posted last. I have thought time and time again that I should go post, record what's going on, so that we remember it. But I've been in a deep patch of life for a couple of years. Several, actually.

And where to begin? I have no idea. My life is a swirling mess of highest highs and lowest lows. I've suffered heart break that has put me down completely, and watched my children learn and grow and soar and nosedive and then soar again. The triplets are now 8. They were baptized, and it was amazing. The thought of trying to catch up on all that has happened is daunting. I can't do it. I would just have to shut the post down again and not even try, so I'll just post other stuff.

Tanner is directing a musical called "Putting It Together: a Sondheim Review" and it has been a crazy huge project and he has definitely bitten off more than he can chew, but he is handling it with much grace and chewing as fast as he can. He has a cast of 25 teenagers and it's going to be stunning. It opens next weekend and I'm so excited for him. Ben is in it as well, and I'm sure he'll be fabulous.

I'm too tired to keep writing, so I'm gonna just post an updated picture of our family.

There we are at Oceanside this past summer. We look good. Somehow, by the grace of a loving Heavenly Father, we have weathered the storms of life and stayed together. I'm truly blessed.
