I decided to take a year (or so) off from updating my blog.  After I found out I was pregnant in Sept 2010, I was really struggling to stay on top of basic things, let alone find time to post pictures and write.  Like always, I was sick for the entire first trimester, and then some, and at age 38 I was finding pregnancy to be much more exhausting than even just 4 years prior.  Getting up to get Alaina off to school was hard enough, but combined with the fact that I work from home late at night - Ugh.  Something had to go.  Okay, so mostly it was the housework, but I couldn't justify sitting at my computer a minute longer than I had to every night before I could go to bed.

Anyways, so now that Audra is a year old and not as high maintenance anymore, I would like to try and dive back in.  I think I'll do a little back-posting related to her birth, some pictures from the last year, and then start fresh.
