Monkey Business

I used to think Jacob crawling up the steps or jumping off a coach was just crazy...but along came Lindsey. She is so fearless, it makes my heart skip a beat sometimes but I love her for it! She is full of life and energy and keeps me on my toes. If you ever see us at a park, most likely you will find Lindsey hanging upside down off something!

Weekend Action

This past Saturday it rained all day, so Jake had a friend over for the day and we went bowling! They had a great time. It isn't very often that we don't have hockey so we took advantage of some play time and family time that night. On Sunday Jacob and I went to see a local production of Oliver, we had some good friends in the show and it was fantastic, the cast did a great job! Now, on to week #2!

One Done!

As most of you know when Lee deploys we make a chain link of weeks to count down. The kids were thrilled to take off our first link this past Saturday. This time Lee wrote a special message in each link for the kids to read! One down!!

Trick or Treat

It was a bit rainy but that didn't stop our kiddos from Halloween night! I am so lucky to have a flexible job, this year I had the chance to not only attend Jake's school parade but stay for a couple hours in his class after wards and help out. The kids had a party with snacks and music and made some crafts. I can't wait to do it again! They got more candy than I could fit in my cupboard so Jacob suggested we send some to Daddy! Sounded like a great idea to me so we sent it in our first box to Lee! After dividing it up I realized Jacob kept a bunch of chocolate and Lindsey kept mostly Smarties and Skittles. They are so different but that's why I love them!

Dear God....

Dear God, Please bring him home and all our troops as soon as possible, safely. We love and miss you each second of each day. Can't wait to see you again!

Soaked....

We tried our best to soak up every bit of family time we could in the last few weeks. I think we did a pretty good job, even though, no one wanted to give it up! I can't wait to take more pictures just like this!
