Oh the catching up I have to do! I'm not even sure where to start! I managed to make a night at Kaleidoscope Gathering back in July. It was beyond incredible. We didn't make it to any workshops (the one we did get to got cancelled) but we attended the main ritual (AMAZING!!) and we spent the entire night dancing around the campfire to the beat of drums (literally all night, we watched the sun come up!)
And now I'm drawing a complete blank...I know other things happened but it was early August when we found out that I was expecting again so wrapping my head around that seems to have rendered everything else insignificant. I had my first midwife appointment yesterday and she sounded really optimistic about me having another homebirth so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!
My Women's Spirituality Group had a Full Moon Ritual in September which was wonderful. Foolishly, I offered to plan the next ritual for November 1st. I've never put a ritual together before but I have my dear friend helping me (she's also a newbie) and one of the more experienced ladies offered to sit down with us and help make our ideas into a ritual format so it should be interesting!
Munchkin turned 3 recently. I can't believe how quickly he's growing up! He's starting to understand concepts better now so I'm excited to really start including him in my practice.
Oh, we did our annual apple picking on Friday! Sooo much fun!! My sister and her boyfriend joined us so our basement is well stocked. Sunday afternoon will be pie baking day and I can't wait!

The folks in the old days probably had a much larger family/community at hand to take work off their hands when they were sick or incapacitated otherwise, and I guess that helps better than meds...
