Twenty-four hours? Really?
Ok, it was more along the lines of twelve, but suffice to say Isaac went an entire day with no mommy!
Which meant I spent the whole day away from the love of my life, whom I have not EVER left for more than 3 hours. Yes he is almost 2 years old. It’s sad, but true.
Just the two of us
Being the overprotective paranoid psycho-mom that I am (see above) perhaps you are wondering why I left Isaac with his dad for the day…well, it gets worse!
Chris is taking Marissa and Isaac to Arizona soon to visit his family, all of whom have never met our …
Sayle is turning two TODAY. Two as in two years old. Two as in every time I think about it, I just want to cry. Two as in where the heck did those two years go??How did you cope with your child turning two? Did you feel that time past by in the blink of an eye?
This feels like it was just yesterday
I’ve seriously been having a difficult time with this milestone since the first of March and as the 25th of March has approached, my heart has become heavier. I’ve found myself saying things like; “This time two years ago, I was packing …
“Ok, staff, don’t forget we have a mandatory CPR training on Tuesday night from 6-8, please be there (with an implied or else).”
As soon as I heard this, my heart dropped. I wasn’t worried about CPR, as I could do it in my sleep after re-certifying every year since I was 15; no, I was concerned about Isaac, who was definitely not invited. Yes, I did ask (:
Dinnertime!
I readily admit that my son is a mama’s boy. I am with him 24/7 at home and at work, so he is very used to me being around and doing everything for him and with him. This has never …
As I think I mentioned in an earlier post, a decision has been made and we are in the process of moving back to Texas to be near family during this dreadful deployment. Unfortunately, that means leaving behind my MomTalk team.
Although it took a lot of praying and fighting the right answer because I didn’t necessarily WANT to do it, I know that I need to do this. I’ve definitely had my fair share of answered prayers so I know when to listen to the spirit, even it means leaving a place that means so much to me.
The kids are sad to be leaving new friends that they’ve …
Isaak's Photoshoot
Do you ever wonder if the personality traits and interests your kids exhibit when they’re little will translate into what they become as an adult? I do. I think about it all the time. I think Jakob will become a Marine for sure. Kora I’m not completely sure yet, but I know she’ll be something that requires a TON of confidence. Miah is going to be into motor sports, something outdoorsy for sure. Gus is a little too small to tell just yet, but Isaak? Oh yes, I know what Isaak will be.
Isaak has a SMALL obsession with taking pictures and by small I …
Well, it’s official. I am now a part of the deployed spouses club. Not necessarily the type of club I’ve ever dreamed about being in, but nonetheless, still in it. It’s only been a few days and it already feels like weeks. I stare at my calendar flipping the pages to the return date and it just seems so FAAAAAR away.
The kids seem to be doing just fine, thankfully. I think they must be WAY stronger than I am. The two big kids have emotional breakdowns every now and then over silly things that translate into, “I miss dad”, but other than that, they’ve been great. Miah, my middle child, …
