Hi, readers. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? We’ve been busy. Our little boy has been growing so fast. He’s a running, playing, crazy adorable, wild and endless source of energy. And we bought a house, which brought with it a billion projects, repairs, and improvements. We’ve been working so hard to settle in and make it our home.
But, we’ve also been worn out. Let’s just say that it’s been a long winter. We unexpectedly lost one of our cats a few months ago, our furry little buddy Boots who had been a part of our family for eight years. And we’re finally out from beneath the record-breaking two billion inches of snow that Mother Nature dumped on us this year. Phew!
We’ve still been cooking and making our favorite meals, but we haven’t had the energy, time, or desire to search for new recipes, try them, photo them, blog them, etc. Until now! We’re finally settling into a new kind of normal, and after a good break from blogging, the itch is creeping back up to return to one of our favorite hobbies. There are new recipes to be made! Old recipes and photos to be improved! Food to eat!
If you’re still reading this out there, thanks for sticking with us. And if you’re a new reader, we’re so looking forward to sharing some of our new favorite recipes with you. We’re working on some redesign around here, and we have so many improvements in mind. We”ll be back with new recipes next week.
Glad to hear you guys are doing well, and looking forward to more great recipes! :)
Thank you so much!
Yea, you’re back!! Oh, how came relate to house repairs. Saps you time and energy, and can’t imagine having a little one on top of it!
I know, right? A good kind of busy though :)
Welcome back! Brian and I are excited for more yummy recipes. I can’t believe it been “that long” that your son is running about. Time sure does fly.
Thanks! And I know…..time is definitely flying. He’s 20 months old already!!
Please don’t ever feel the need to apologize for living a full life. I’m glad you enjoy your son – it’s a beautiful thing to know and to share especially while our children are so tiny and precious. My 13-year-old was little once too, now he’s taller than me and I’m tall. I love him dearly but truth be told, I miss those velvety, round baby cheeks sometimes :-)
