Continual State of Becoming

Yesterday we had a spring snow storm.  The kids and I all had the day off from school!  But we couldn't really do a whole lot because Agnes has pink eye, and a double ear infection (and Aaron is recovering from the same).  But we did what we could.  It was still better than going to school.

I'm back!  I've decided to give this blog another go.  I've kind of been swept up in parenting, school, life stuff so I nearly made the decision to give this up completely (especially since other social media is way more accessible), but then I read through some of my old posts and realized that I miss what I used to do here.  I'm not sure I have time for it like I used to (in fact, I know I don't), but I'm not ready to completely give up either. Brief update on life: I'm going back to school to become an elementary school teacher.  Not a music teacher or a librarian, but a general classroom teacher.  It's a lot of hard work, but I'm loving it!  Well, most of it anyway. Agnes is 2, Aaron is 5, and Dylan will be 10 in less than two weeks.  The kids are growing up! Aaron and Agnes currently have a viral form of pink eye.  It sucks, and I don't have time for sick children. I am no longer running.  I keep trying to get back in to it....

I did this on Instragram a couple months ago. back when we were in the old house. We had a set of three Knock Out Rose bushes which just bloom like crazy (especially since we didn't know we were supposed to trim them significantly every year). Since life was crazy at the time they started blooming I just decided to take some pictures of them, mostly with my iPhone, and edit them however I wanted without worrying about what was "correct."  I tried to post at least one a day with the label #rosephotofun. I loved doing it. I definitely want to do something like that again in the future. Flower pictures are some of my favorites. Here are my a few of the ones I loved the most.
