"Back in the Saddle Again"

 (1-26-2013)

It's been a while since I have posted anything to my blog. I must say, to be quite honest, I had forgotten all about it until my friend Jenna said something about it.

Life around the Carrigan house has been busy. Since the last blog post, we've moved back to Fort Wayne and bought a house in the quaint Southwood Park neighborhood. We've reconnected with our dear friends and I am once again working in TotTown at Fellowship (our church, where I get to play with cute babies on Sunday mornings. I've also begun volunteering for the FW Alumni and Friends Resource Center, which just happens to be an extension of the old TUFW campus. I am responsible for updating their News Notes on their website as well as maintaining the News Notes to be printed in the Vine, which is their published magazine.

Matt still commutes to Chicago for two days every other month. In the beginning, Maddie and I would join him, but in the future we probably won't because I will begin watching a dear friend's new granddaughter, who will be making her debut February 25th.

Even though life is still crazy around here, we are now in a routine again and I hope to pick up the daily posts once more. So, here is the first of many more to come!

I am so thankful for the opportunity to stay home with Maddie and have an active part in her education. She is just thriving and I am so proud of her. This picture is the result of me telling her to spell the word "dinosaur." Not bad for 3 years old!
