Oh Ancient of Days

It's been a while. My computers (oh yeah, plural) have been in the shop for nearly a month. All the while I thought, ' NOOOOO!!! I'll have no connection with the outside world!' but really I had more! I didn't lose a single nights sleep over what 'news' I was missing out on, or who's emails I needed to return, or anything for that matter! I have spent more time on the floor with my kid playing ball and clapping, or watching Baby Van Gough than I normally would have and realized that he has grown leaps and bounds this week. My beautiful little boy has at least 4 new words in his vocabulary, to include 'dada', can wave hello and goodbye, and is trying his hardest to clap! What a blessing it has been to step away from the computer and enjoy time soley with him.
We've also gotten out more as a family. For the past two weekends we've done mini road trips and have been able to witness the seasons change in the east. It's been amazing how deep the conversations have been in our car and how off key we each sing! What a blessing it is to be so unconnected.
And how nice it is to have it back!
