Hibernating.....

We have settled into a routine of staying close to home and renewing our family bonds. After going through some very trying months last year, relationships within our family have knit themselves together again. Through much hard work and determination on all of our parts.

Many things have been put on hold while this catharsis has been taking shape. There are to be many changes in the coming months, some welcome, some not. But we have come to realize that we are a family and we can make a home anywhere as long as we are strong in each other.

So what have we been doing? I have been back at my old job as a vet tech since November. It is going well and I am feeling very fulfilled and glad. I took this semester off of college to get the job well in hand and prepare for my last semester, (I hope) The children are all busy creating their own lives and making plans. David is healing and healing relationships with us all. We are very hopeful that things are working out and happy together for the first time in a long time.

In between all the serious issues we have and are facing, we are all reading, a LOT. I am knitting and crocheting and Sophie is learning. We have watched a few good films and savored the time together.

Hopefully with the slow approach of spring we will come out of our caves, rubbing our eyes and ready to take on the challenges that this has all been preparing us for.
