Thank you all for your patience with me. No, I haven't forgotten about all my blogging friends, and I am almost back into the swing of things.
I have been side-tracked in the past 3 weeks with the following shenanigans: we put the house on the market, then found the perfect house and watched it get purchased by someone else; I got sick...twice; I had to nurse my son back to health from double ear infections; I got my nose pierced, Greg went out of town; I hosted my cousin in town; we traveled to Fayetteville twice to see Rachel, Jared, and my sweet nephew Judah; and we had to deal with some stressful job happenings for both me and Greg. Oh, and two violent storms wreaked havoc in our neighborhood and snapped one of our trees off at the base of the trunk, half of our neighbor's roof shingles blew into our front yard, and another neighbor's enormous tree snapped and fell down into our front yard. AND I'm going on a 4 day retreat next week. All while we are trying to sell our house.
I am almost on the mend right now, but am pretty convinced I have strep throat and am hyped up on tons of pain medication and decongestants (FYI- never pierce your nose when you are congested and have a cold as the snot sticks to the post inside your nose and you can't blow anything out. Other than that though, I love it).
I will come up with something very soon that is interesting and worthy of posting.
In the mean time, my sister, Rachel, has posted some great pictures of our trips up there if you are interested. We had a blast with them two weekends in a row!

Yeah! We (indirectly) made it into your countdown! I'm sorry things have been so crazy... why are you selling your house? I guess I missed that part.
I missed it too...
I pierced my nose about 4 years ago, so I know what you're talking about. But it's the kind of thing that is SuperCute on just about anyone.
You HAVE been busy. I'll be praying you get well soon, and that your house sells right away. If the market in Dallas is anything like the market in Central Minnesota, GOOD LUCK!
Wow. You've had some eventful weeks. So sorry to hear about the sickness, snapped trees and house that was almost yours. I didn't know you guys were selling your house! Let's see pics of the nose ring! (minus the boogs, please) =) I've seriously thought about getting mine done again. I kind of miss it.
I loved seeing the pictures of Lauren and Judah together. They are so cute! Hope everything settles down for you guys soon. We missed hearing from you!
We've missed you! Nose piercings are certainly post worthy.
Hope you all feel better soon, no more storms, job stress, and that the house sells! Maybe that perfect house wasn't so perfect. God obviously has one much better for you all.
sheesh! Hang in there! I Can't wait to see you in a few weeks to really catch up!! Good luck with the house!
Wow. YOu have had a lot going on! Hang in there, and hope the house sells soon!
Well no wonder you were MIA!! I gotta see this nose ring!
Good luck with the house sale. Where is the other one you found that got snatched?
Forget what Sarah says... we want to see pictures of boogs, too! That sounds yummy.
Crazy times for the Ratzlaffs! I hope you are feeling better.
So glad you had such a great time with your sister! God given lifetime friends!! Sounds like you guys are going to have to make some more trips to visit them before they move.....Hope you are feeling better! Love you friend!
ohmyword!!! what the mess?! That's a lot, friend. So sorry to hear you're sick and having sick children... AND selling your house AND having the one you wanted purchased out from under you AND having snot sticking to your post and neighbors stuff in your yard. MERCY!! Will be praying for you! Can I bring you anything?!!?
