Moving Day!


I was awaiting the day when blogger finally alerted me to the fact that I had outgrown the free space that I was allotted. 
And yes, that day has finally come. 
Being a cheapskate, I've decided to migrate over to wordpress.com as I've heard good things about this blogging site. Let's hope it holds true as I re-emerge onto the self-reflective, indulgent, and sometimes poignant world of blogging. The new address is dachtlers.wordpress.com 
So if you're still trying to find me here, you'll be sorely disappointed.

Psalm 30:5


It's been a while since I last blogged. 
There have been many changes in our life since then. Ada's in full-day preschool, Nellie's talking up a storm and due for another Mayo visit in December, Dylan's got 3 semesters left of school, and the interior of our house got a much needed paint face lift.
Those aren't the only changes. I'm going to apologize in advance for the ambiguity of this blog, not that I'm apologizing for non full-disclosure, but rather that it will be confusing for some. I'm just not quite ready to "talk," is all. 
If you're reading and you have a spare moment however, please feel free to send up a prayer or two for us, Dylan and I, as we work through this most recent change in our life. We are blessed with family and friends who have fed our souls in the past week. But surely it never hurts to have more intercession for peace. 
The nature of this blog has always been to keep in touch with our near and dear far away. And it is seasons such these that remind me why blogging is so cathartic. 

Psalm 30:5

New Living Translation (NLT)
For his anger lasts only a moment,
    but his favor lasts a lifetime!

Weeping may last through the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.
