Spring Means Change

This time last year - around the first day of Spring - we were going through so many changes in our family: Karina had just arrived to live with us; our chickens (bless them) had been with us just a short time; my little garden was growing; my little boy was just starting to crawl; and we'd just received news that a new baby was growing in my womb. Now, that is spring.

I don't have much of that this year; my life is not bursting with newness. On the contrary, we're experiencing a sort of groaning as we slowly settle into a new life. Maybe it's a different kind of spring.

Don't think that we're unhappy this time around. There is a time for change; but then there's a time for stillness. Our family is ready for some stillness. So this Spring, we hope to be still and watch the world around us change.
