Day 182

Today is our daughter's 11th birthday and it's such a bittersweet time. I'm so proud of the young lady that she is becoming and sad to see her growing so fast. Also sad to see how much she missed her daddy today. He called her right before she went to school and she cried. It was so sweet, she was happy but just wished he was home. So do I baby! I wanted to see if this would work. I made her a slideshow to show her friends today. She cried and I cried, and our neighbors cried, it was just an emotional night. So i'm trying to post it on here so I share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy!

Day 169

So 2 weeks have flown by and i'm soo slacking! Alot has happend and we have all stayed busy. The kids are finally getting back on track with school. Mayson and Aly were having a little trouble but now all is good. Bella is loving her preschool. She recently went on a field trip to the pumpkin farm. We had a great time and I really enjoyed watching her with her playmates. Recently Malisa, our niece, was transfered to San Diego. It was a very sad time and was very difficult for the kids. We have been lucky to have her around us for 4 years and the kids, especially Aly, have really bonded with her. There were lots of tears and lots of broken hearts but we know it's what she has to do for her career. Before she left she spent a day and night with the kids, taking them to the aquarium, to movies and dinner. They loved it and i even got a few pictures out of it. So enjoy all of these pictures, i know it's been some time. And for my honey, you are always in our thoughts, we miss you terribly and can't wait for this horrible experience to be over!
