Welcome Back?!?!?

I've been wanting to get back to this blog for some time.  So much has happened over the past 18 months or so (GASP!!) since the last post.

But Life keeps getting in the way!  Five kids, owning and running a business, maintaining a home, etc., etc., etc.  Some days it's slightly overwhelming, and Our (poor) High Five has managed to slip to the back burner.  Or maybe completely off the stove!

Whatever the case, I love having a place to record our memories.  I want it to continue.

So here's the plan: one post a month. Just one. I can do this!  (Who's passing out the bonus points if I manage to get more than one a month?!?!?)

Stay tuned for 2016: The Recap.
