Well, I did not intend to spend quite so much time away. As you might imagine, the days are busy right now. Ira is six weeks old and growing and changing so fast. I forgot how intense the experience of parenting a newborn is. And of course, it is even more so this time with a three-year old helper. We all seem to experience every emotion each day – joy, frustration, sadness, anger, contentment, etc. – all before breakfast. Oh yes, we are doing a lot of living right now, which means there hasn’t been much time for blogging. Meanwhile I’m still in the throes of a major editing project. So I will be here, stopping in, reading comments, and posting when I can. But I expect my posts will be more brief, and um, perhaps more visual for a little while.
I hope you are enjoying these early fall days. Here are a few scenes from our first September as a family of four.

Gorgeous photos of you and your family! I’m especially loving the windswept 3-year-old, which is my favorite way to be at the beach.
