Carrie is the only reason I ever get a break. I think I am finally getting the hang of this phase of 4 kids and WHAM!
Kevin is deploying. Sigh...guess I should never actually let my thoughts go to life being 'easy or too good'!!! :)
He will be leaving in May and returning for Christmas (we hope). Not as long as it could be, but plenty of solo mommy time for me.
We have not told the kids yet, so don't spill the news please.
Cameron is a little tyrant and loves to get into everything and get his way about it all.
Collin must be growing because he spends half the time falling down and getting hurt.
Kyle is to wrapped up in his own world that I am beginning to think he needs to take classes in computer programming (he tries to live plugged in to a device and this is seriously getting on my nerves).
Carrie is starting soft ball. Because she is older now, she had to try-out for the teams. She went to get the first grounder that was in her range and the darn ball popped off the tip of the glove and hit her square in the eye. She did not even flinch, but grabbed the ball and threw it to first base. The whole time this is happening the coaches are running out to check on her and trying to get her ice. She would not accept any help and kept right on playing. I hope at least one team noted that she was one tough cookie!
Kevin is gone a lot right now, trying to get ready for being gone.. isn't that ironic? Guess I needed to have more practice on my own. He is in Kentucky this week and Texas next week. Somehow the army knows when to send people away, because these two weeks my best friend's hubby is home for his mid-tour R&R. So, needless to say we are trying to squeeze in one day where they are both in the same country.
So while trying not to whine...I am asking for prayers, as the rest of 2009 is going to be a challenge for us. Keep us in your thoughts, prayers and hearts!
