Been a long time baby!

It has been a long time indeed since last I posted anything. Much has happened and cheery posts about pretty things have seemed a little silly. My husband deployed to the Persian Gulf (or Arabian gulf, or peninsular or whatever is the PC term this week) and has been gone for some months now. My daughter seems to have days when her autism is more challenging than others. We have been on a new therapy regimen and I am loving the results so far. However, the time investment has been a big one. We are slowly finding out new rhythm and I find that need to see and feel pretty returning! Back to coveting!! Up first......
