I'm Baaacckkk!!!

I can't begin to tell you all how excited I am to be back home and online.  Throughout the year, I always seem to forget the feeling of coming home, going to bed, getting up and starting all over again.  Tax season is, well, taxing!! ....on the body and soul.  My husband doesn't understand how sitting at a desk all day could make you physically and mentally exhausted - most people probably don't.  My coworkers assure me I am not alone, though.

I very much take my time away from work for granted.  This year, I am going to work really hard to relish the time I have with friends and family - and try to take time for myself to just relax.  That means - more time behind the camera!!

So, yes.  There is much to come in the coming weeks!!

I need to mention a slight change to my blog.  I know, it can be quite a hassle to have to prove that you are in fact a human when leaving post comments - usually by typing out some code that is disguised in a box.  Unfortunately, in the last couple of months that I have been - for all intents and purposes - absent, I have gotten a lot of junk comments and spam.  Now that I have time, I am going to have to implement 'word verification' for my comments.  I am hoping that it doesn't push away too many followers.

For tonight - a preview of one of my favorite chunky-monkey's newborn pictures - my sweet little nephew:

UPDATE:  Thanks to a suggestion from my friend, Julie - I have changed my approach to prevent spam.  I have removed the word verification and instead will be limiting comments so that anonymous comments aren't allowed.  Hopefully this will solve the problem, and not be such a pain for visitors...
