Here I am, checking in with this blog after an absence of about 5 months. As it turns out, I was about 3 days pregnant at the time of my last post, although I didn't know it yet. Now, of course, I'm at 24 weeks, expecting another boy on or around March 13th. This second pregnancy has been such a blessing, although it has left me fairly sick and drained much of the time. Alex is almost 2, doing beautifully, talking up a storm and learning new things so quickly I'm astonished. We had a wonderful trip to Japan in September, to visit Ron's sister Theresa, and we just got home from about a week in Alaska, visiting Alex's grandparents and my old friends Kenan and Jana. Things are good for us, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming holiday season. The month of December is especially rich for us, as Alex and I both have our birthdays approaching.
As far as my myth work is concerned, I haven't been doing much lately, I admit. Pregnancy has kept me pretty thoroughly in my body. Our round table group did have a special meeting last week, with children's book author and illustrator Gerald McDermott as a special guest. I hosted the event at my house, and it was a good time.
Now that I'm back on the blog, I'm recommitted to writing in it several times a week, so look forward to seeing more thoughts on mythmaking and creativity.

Thoughts on life
I'm feeling good today-I think it has to do with the fact that the sun is out, my French language skills are reappearing at a rapid pace, and I leave for Maui in less than a week. Life is fine.
Alex is such an awesome little kid. Exhibit number 234: he spent most of yesterday walking around the house, babbling to himself, with his arms bent at the elbows, straight up (his fists were next to his ears). Not sure why he does this-I suspect it's because he can and does fall down regularly-to catch himself. It's soo cute. He loves to watch Hank play with his food bowl-he laughs and laughs. It's so much fun to be a momma. :)
Doing well on the weight loss front-down two more pounds as of this morning. Somehow, sunny weather seems to help. I made an appointment to meet with a trainer at the gym when we get back from Maui.
