{happy} return to blogland

So last summer when I stopped blogging it was for a very sweet reason:  Ryder Isaac

My third sweet bundle of everything good entered the world (5 days early - love this kid already!) on July 9th after a very fun and busy day of friends, sun, a pool party, lunch with one of my best girlfriends (who was due the month following) at the Spaghetti Factory, and dinner/homemade sorbet with my sister and a lovely friend who I just adore that had recently moved back to Oregon.  What great memories I have of that entire day and labor started while still in the midst of lots of laughter and love and pink-cheeked friends.  And all a few hours after my {amazing, amazing, amazing} doula came home from the beach and texted me that I could have the baby now since she was home. 

 Apparently I am very obedient when it comes to birth.

So the past several months of life have been slower...sleepier...crazier...dreamier...and just {mostly} all around nice.  And I'm loving every precious bit of it.
