Time for a new header?

Every time I go to change it, I can't bring myself to do it. Partly (let's be honest), because I'm lazy; partly (let's be even more brutally honest) because I looked a whole lot better then than I do now; and partly (here's the kicker) because all our gazes are pinned on Ellie who is SUCH a ray of sunshine in my life right now and without whom our home would be a whole lot more contentious. But, poor Hazel's going to wonder about her significance in the family! So, maybe by Christmas? Not making any promises.

Really I just wanted to add my thank yous to all y'all's blogs out there. I left my family for a ten day hiatus half way around the world and am humbled, knowing that an amazing husband and true friends made that possible. It meant so much for me to get to see my sister and her family (including their new addition to the family, baby Jackson) in their element and spend that time with them. So, Josh in case I haven't said this enough, thank you for holding down the fort, pulling through for Jonah's surprise star student of the week, getting the kids bathed here and there, speaking in church, getting in those last billable hours...all of that AND getting the morning dishes done. It's more than I manage. I love you 2 lbs. cot. Happy Thanksgiving!

Pictures of China to come (I really hope)!
