where to begin?

as you can see by the title post it has been a while as usual:)things are slowly coming together. we recently purchased one and a half acres in buckfield and are in the process of having our house plans finalized. we are very excited and looking forward to seeing our house built.things are slowing down and we are starting to enjoy some much needed time with family. grayson is growing as always. we have had the video camera out alot lately as he decided to grow up all at once. he now has three teeth, he can sit by himself for quite a while, he can now crawl and also sayes mom-mom all the time. we are working on saying daddy:) he is the most loving child i have ever met. he gives me hundreds of hugs and kisses each day. he must know mommy needs them.as much as i enjoy being home with family, i miss my alone time with john and grayson and also miss the pikes and the girls so very much. i know i do not mention them much as it is still very painful for me. it has not been easy and i am sure it will always be hard just as it was when i missed my family in maine. i have plenty of weeklys to update and lots of cute picts. i hope everyone has a happy easter.
