Hello again!

[Stella]

I've been off the boards for a while and just wanted to say hello again. Things are calming down again after my sister's illness and the birth of baby #6, Veronica (who is 11 months old! Where did the time go?). I'm hoping to check in more regularly again. I've missed you all!

[Float On]

So good to see you Stella!!

Hey Stella good to see you!

[Stella]

Thanks for the welcome! My sister is beginning to figure out her new normal. She regained some arm function, and for a short while, she was able to walk short distances on crutches, but she has been backsliding a bit. She has stabilized, though, and they are beginning to make progress again. She finally found an excellent caregiver. This woman is just a peach, and she is so upbeat and happy. She makes the mood at their house just seem so much more alive.

We are all well. The kids are getting so big. My oldest is taller than me now, which is seriously weirding me out. :)

Hey, Stella, glad you have some time to catch your breath and check in! Good to hear from you!

Welcome back, Stella! Congratulations on the new family member, and glad to hear your sister has a great caregiver--a positive presence in the home can make all the difference. :)

[Kestra]

Hello! I've often wondered how you were doing. I love hearing about your family adventures.

Hello Stella, and congratulations on little Veronica! It seems like Charlotte was just months ago...she's probably walking and talking by now.
I hope all goes well with your sister and her new caretaker.

I think of you often - I feel like you must have a cast iron constitution! I admire your simple and abundant life :)
