Hello. It’s been quite some time, hasn’t it?
Don’t worry, I’m ok.
I don’t even know where to begin. It’s been, well, it’s been months. I’ve been stuck trying to figure out where to begin because there’s been so many significant events that have happened since my last post.
I’ve been stuck trying to figure out where to start. I’ve decided I need to write something. Anything.
So I’ll begin here…
Back in May I announced my pregnancy.
And then wheat harvest began.
And then I disappeared from the blogosphere realm.
Sorry.
After awhile some of my friends started hinting that I was a blogger slacky.
I apologize for my absence, I was simply occupying my time with other important tasks and events.
For example, I took a lot of walks per doctor’s orders…
And then I began inflating to epic proportions…
And then I played lifeguard at our very own private pool…
And then I elevated my feet any chance I got…
And then school started…
And then fall harvest began…
And then I got bigger…
And then wheat sowing was in full swing…
And then I got REALLY big…
And then I delivered meals to the soybean fields that were being harvested…
And then I almost exploded…
And then I fell in love…
And then I started lactating and gave up sleeping…
And then I cut back significantly on showering and preferred wearing hats and pajamas all day, and I became obsessed with poop, and pee, and other bodily functions, and potential temperatures, and breathing patterns, and sleeping patterns, and little sounds in the middle of the night…
I might’ve forgotten to brush my teeth a few times, too.
My apologies.
And then I started deflating, and sleeping more, and showering regularly, and venturing out…
And sometime during all of the craziness I fell in love even more…
And now I’m back and I plan to share my new adventures of life as a farmer’s wife and momma to a little man.
This’ll be fun.
Won’t you join me?
Alive & Well in Kansas 
Welcome Back Friend! While the blogosphere has missed you we know you’ve had your hands full of much more important things 🙂 Look forward to hearing more out of your adventures!
Thanks, EMac! We need to schedule a visit before little man starts walking 🙂
Congrats! I didn’t know you had a baby. That’s very exciting. Hope you’re all doing well.
Thank you, Teresa! We kept baby news on the down-low for a good while. We’re doing great. Hope you’re staying warm up north!
SO GLAD YOU’RE BACK!! It was good to meet Banks Baldwin in person at the Windom pancake feed. I always enjoy your posts. Hope you keep finding the time.
Thanks, Neill! I’m glad you got to meet our little man in person, too. Next year he’ll be running around all over the place–maybe flushing birds for you all! Hope you’re doing well 🙂
Omigosh! He is beautiful! Congrats and welcome back!
Thanks, Debbie! He’s already been told his favorite color is purple :). It feels good to write again!
Congrats! So happy for you and glad to have you back in the blogging world!
Thank you! Keep those words of wisdom and Pinterest tested recipes coming!!
Hi Adam, Kim, & Banks, Congrats!!! I see that Banks is being raised right…as a K-State Wildcat!!! Enjoy your writing and pictures. The twitter picture of Adam and Banks at Church (laying on the floor) is priceless. God’s blessings.
Hi David!
Thank you for the comment. Yes, Banks will be raised in purple and is already being taught the difference between a wildcat and a jayhawk :). My two guys are pretty cute whenever they sneak off at church-it’s a guarantee they’ll be laying on the floor somewhere!! I don’t know if you’ve talked to your nieces, but I’m teaching at their school now–I’ll have them next year. Hope all is well in Missouri!
