I'm not really feeling my writer's groove lately, so here are some notes instead:
- I am glad to say that our maple syrup season is finally over. We pulled our taps last weekend and washed all of the equipment. I didn't count gallons, though I'm certain Steve did, but it was a successful season, and the pancakes are happy. 
Natalie and I designed the labels together this year. Syrup season is a Long process, but a very fun family project.
-My weight loss is going well. I have lost 31 pounds so far, but most importantly has been my ability to have the energy to exercise! I am much stronger than I was just a few months ago, and much less tired. It helps that the medication change has finally sunk in. Praising God for this major milestone I thought I'd never see!
-Serena, the "baby", has completed driver's education. We now have 2 teenage drivers in the family, and 2 soon-to-be completely gray-haired parents, I'm sure. I have yet to ride with her. I still have some anxiety on a good day, so I just don't want to push it!
-Natalie has received her ACT score recently and was very pleased to get a "30". With her 4.0 GPA, that most certainly means our child will not be living with us forever. :( As a junior, college information is flying left and right, and I'm beginning to get nervous...time has gone too fast.
-Spring. What can I say? It's elusive. We get a couple warm days, then it's cold again. I must be blinking too much! I look longingly out at the pool and the garden, and know soon I will be very much outside enjoying it all.
-My brother will be celebrating his birthday in heaven on Friday. His wife and boys will be celebrating him at a Detroit Tiger's baseball game. My brother was a big fan, and went to the games often. We were not able to join them for various conflicting reasons, but will celebrate him in our hearts every day anyway.
I hope I can stop in again and that my writing will begin to flow soon. Until then, I might just be sharing random notes!
Be blessed!

So excited to see you on-line again. Love your notes and the little glimpses into your life. Yum home made syrup! Between new drivers and a junior thinking about college life sure is going fast. I'm so grateful that God brought you a new brother. He knew what you needed. Jeff will never be far from your heart, no matter what. What a welcome will be waiting for you in heaven. I'm ecstatic to hear your new meds are working better. Can't say that about mine yet. 3rd attempt to move up to 3/4 dose but I'm starting every other day for now. Hopefully that will ease my body into it more. Yeah for the weight loss! I have to get back to basics and stop putting on weight and start loosing again! "Read" you soon my friend.
Congrats on the syrup:)
Nice to see you are writing a bit.
Blessings.
