I cant believe its been 2 months since I have posted! Lots has happened I guess :) Derek came home from training and it really was an awesome 3 weeks!! We did so much and just spent some quality time together! Derek's mom and sisters came to visit too, which was real nice! We had a fun weekend with them! Of course the good byes were very hard when Derek had to leave! The kids handled it well until that night when I laid Madisynn down after listening to the book Derek recorded for them and Madisynn just cried and cried as I held her and cried too! Finally had to call my mom to calm us down, because we were just feeding off of each other! She has only mentioned missing daddy a couple more times. She gets real sad about it, but no crying again!! Derek is doing well, we have skyped twice which has been good and we have talked to him on the phone once. Im sure there will be lots of good and bad times in the next 6 months, but I know the kids will keep things going! Madisynn starts school on the 22nd and I start school on the 29th. All my classes are online, so I dont have to worry about going anywhere. Ill just do it after the kids go to bed! So, I have a feeling that will keep me busy! I have a guest coming out here or I am going somewhere every month for the next 4, so that is awesome! We have amazing friends here too!! So thankful for everyone and their support!
Braylon is such a man with his kisses! He kisses with his cheek :)I think Madisynn is giving him the biggest kiss ever! Derek sure is taking it in!
UGH! Brings back all the bad feelings again!
Waiting for daddy to leave. Soooo hard!
