I'm not sure how to blog again after so much time away, but something about it being my Katie's birthday today and feeling like I'm waking up again after a long relocation process puts blogging on my radar.
It's June, my third child turns *nine - 9 - NINE!* today, I'm feeling more alive than I have in months (16+), and reclaiming restoration places for myself. This is one of my favorites.
The home, property, and surrounding local in which we've landed is a restorative sactuary for me (and my family). I'm amazed at God's forethought about every detail, and that in itself is healing.
This day we're soaking in birthday goodness and celebrating our sweet Katie's day of birth.
In the coming days, I might just find myself back here tidying up and loosing words that have been contained for so very long.

Glad to see you back again...your blog is always so lovely! Happy Birthday to your Katie, and Happy BIRTH day to you!

I was so excited to see your post come thru! I've missed you! :) I'm not sure if you know I've moved my blog: trustinghishand@blogspot.com I'm not posting that much these days, but still love staying in touch with my homeschool friends!
Blessings,
Melissa

I am always happy to see Restoration Place pop up on my blogger dashboard! I am also happy to see that you are feeling at home where you have landed...where the Lord has placed you!
Hope that Katie's birthday was full of blessings for all of you. ♥

I can totally relate to having too many words to say to be able to write. . . especially after a move!
Glad to "see you" again.

*locale* :-)
Thank you all so very much for visiting again and your words of life. Your kindness makes my "awakening" all the sweeter.

Kathy-
I just happened to find time to do some blog reading after months of cray busy-ness and pulled your blog up. I can't believe Katie is 9 already. Our Abigail turned 6 on June 2nd too! Glad to hear your are enjoying your new home. Glad to see your blogging again. I always am inspired by your words.
