Life's Curves

I thought that I was probably done blogging.  It has been so long since my last post, and I think I was okay with being finished.  Then I got a curve ball thrown into my day.  What could have been just another Facebook post by a friend, brought me here instead...

I saw this morning that a friend-of-a-friend just tragically lost one of her precious twin boys. It's simply heart-breaking and gut-wrenching.  I don't even know this family, but suddenly they belong to the same "club" as me.  I emailed this grieving mother and wanted to share with her something that I had posted many months ago. Which is how I got here.  Then when I logged in, I saw that in the lifetime of this simple blog, it has had over 22,000 views. Which is insane to me.  Nothing that I can write is possibly that interesting, so I'm guessing you all just wanted to see some adorable little kids!  So with that said, I will try to continue posting sporadic updates and pictures. I can't promise that it will be often or regular, but I will try.

And today as I'm reminded of how precious life is, I will hug my boys a little closer, smother them with kisses while they'll still let me, and thank God for every minute I have with them.  I encourage you to do the same with your kids.
