I've been silent. I dropped the ball in February and March when it came to my blog. That is due in large part to my jaunt home to visit a new little bundle of life. Her name is Lucy Soell. I've loved her mom, January Newbanks, for years and years. She has held my hand through all the ups and downs life has thrown at us, she makes me stronger.
And now I get to love her little one. I flew back to Ohio for the sole purpose of sitting on Jan's couch and holding little Lucy. And that is in fact what I did most of the time in Ohio.
When Lucy and I weren't bonding, I was in Zanesville hanging out with my mom and little siblings. I was also able to attend my cousin's baby shower and have breakfast with an old, dear friend.
Usually, when I'm in Ohio I feel like I am a visitor. I run around seeing people and being busy. This is nice because I love these people and I love hugging them. But this time I felt like I was home. There wasn't any running, it was just being. I like being when it involves family, a sweet Lucy, a best friend and her husband, pints of ice cream and Becherovka cocktails. Viva Ohio!
