Watching Daddy

These are pictures I took of the kids as they watched Jaylon read "The Little Engine that Could" The boys especially loved it when Dad showed them his big gun.

I confess that I love to worry. I love to worry because if I worry enough about something it's usually not nearly as bad as I dreaded. Such was the case with church today. We sat in the back row of the cultural hall and while Jax and Ellie colored I took Jay with me to feed Izaac. When I walked back into the cultural hall Jax was RUNNING and YELLING during CHURCH. I was calm though. That kid is lucky there were witnesses. I had to leave during the closing hymn so I could get my stuff for my primary class. One of my friends chased after me because she thought I was leaving church in my embarassment. Ha! That's how bad my little son was today. Jay told me he wasn't going to play with his friend Charlie because Charlie is a baby. When I picked him up from nursery the leader told me he wrestled with Charlie the whole time. So when I got him into the car I asked if he had fun playing with Charlie. Jay looked at me so sadly and said, "Yea, I'm not as big and strong as Charlie." Charlie, "the baby" is a good head taller than Jay. Charlie is good for Jay's big little ego.

24 Days Ago...

We smiled when we felt like crying We waited

And waited some more

Then we hugged and kissed and cried and said good-bye. It was awful and horrid and I still shudder when I think of that day. But the GREAT thing is that it's over and the countdown has begun. We are so grateful for the technology that allows us to see and hear and talk to Daddy almost every day. What a blessing!
