Well, it's been a while, I know. Busy? Yes. Planting blueberries? Yes. Quilting? Yes. Bit of the blues? Yes, again. (Stuff I can talk about? No. I guess that's why I haven't been blogging.)
I've been searching high and low for some quilting buddies. I went to a quilting club meeting for the first time, in a neighboring town. I had no idea what to expect. It was somewhat disorganized, and definitely intimidating to be around such experts, but totally fun. It is probably good for me to step out of my comfort zone now and then. I showed them all my completed Spring Quilt and they loved it. (We were going to reveal our Spring Quilts to the homeschool lady's quilting group on June 1st, but I think it's been postponed for a while. I guess there won't be any pictures posted until then. :)
Anyway, I got back home, and there I found my 3 kids, all gathered around me, asking me lots of questions about what I did, what I saw, and where I went. They have never been so interested in me! I guess I should go off on my own more often. It felt real nice to come back to such a nice welcome home. I tried to dole out the hugs, each of them wanting more than I could humanly give in just a few minutes. I'm not an octopus.
I asked my 4 yr. old if she missed me. "Yep. I missed you SO much I thought about missing you the WHOLE time! My brain was just filled up with missing you real bad." (emphasis was hers.) I had to write it down really fast, so I wouldn't forget what she said. It brought tears to my eyes.

Good for you!! (stepping out...) I'm glad you had fun. :)
B is so sweet! You know, THIS is something I just love about being home with our kids...Not that they miss us when we are gone, but that most of the time they don't HAVE to miss us. I remember going to preschool at 4 years old and inside I felt the same way--my whole brain filled up with missing my mom--but I couldn't really say that (even to myself) because there was simply no choice in the matter. How wonderful that B (and H&C) will grow up not missing their mommy...well, except when it's time to quilt! ;)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the quilt meeting!! I know I need to get out regularly and do something for myself.
Thanks for writing down what B said! That was too cute!
I'm so glad you are blogging again, I've missed you!
B is too sweet, that's definitely one to remember.
Yes, I missed you! Glad you are back. Brooke was so cute. Thanks for sharing.
