Yes, today I am celebrating my new middle aged status. Officially middle aged. Ouch!
I have always enjoyed celebrating birthdays, but I don't seem to be finding quite as much joy and fun in this one!
Maybe it's the fact that my energies are being exhausted as I try to figure how I got all these years under my belt so quickly. I still feel like a 21 year old newlywed! Where have the years gone?
I've been unsuccessful in my attempt to stop the hands of time so that I can hold onto my little ones for as long as I possibly can. Today I'm selfishly wishing I could stop Father Time so that this lovely aging process might be stopped as well!
I will say that the more years I add to my life, the more clearly I see, the more deeply I feel, and the more unabashedly I love. In that respect, age is a wonderful gift!
Welcome
I began this blog in 2008 as we picked up and moved our family from Dallas, Texas to London, England as a result of a fabulous job opportunity for my husband. My primary goal was to stay in touch with family and friends as well as begin an online family photo album to preserve our precious memories. With 3 young boys at home and life moving at a breakneck speed, I found that by taking even a few moments to capture a thought or a photo or a memory from our day provided a much needed outlet and a place to be a bit more intentional and present. Our family enjoyed every single moment of our two years in London before a new role was offered to my husband which also required a relocation, this time to Boston, Massachusetts. We settled in Wellesley in September of 2009 and loved life in our teeny-tiny Norman Rockwell New England town. After 4 fabulous years in Boston, our family relocated yet again, this time back to Dallas. We feel so fortunate to have been given these amazing opportunities to live and visit and experience life in different places and we certainly look forward to many more adventures!
