Saying goodbye, yes my dear husband was off to the sandbox (again) as of last week. Last time I was pregnant with a toddler to chase then caring for 2 under 2, this time I have two little ones who will dearly miss their Daddy.
I was so thankful to my friend Vanessa for inviting us out to her property the day after he left to spend a very peaceful morning among the bluebonnets, letting the kids run wild together. I couldn't think of any better way to spend our first day of the deployment.
This one is from Tuesday after we made a video of her "reading" a story she had "written" for Daddy so we could email it to him.
PS I just noticed I'm wearing the same purple shirt from last weeks pic, I guess you can see its a new favorite.

Are you the Mom who's always taking pictures and look back only to realize you aren't IN any of them? Do your kids look through photo albums and ask "Where were you Mommy?" Well, Carin over at Forever in Blue Jeans decided to change all that and challenges any one who's interested to do the same. So hand over the camera, or at least figure out the self-timer and get on the other side of the lens more often. Post your photos of you enjoying time with your family every Thursday and share the link with other Mom's by posting it on Carin's blog. You can start any time with week 1 of 52, don't worry about being "behind" just jump on in.

Oh Andrea, this hit's home for me. The first picture is so touching. My husband may not be deployed but I do know how rough it can be. I have been thinking about you alot since I knew he would be leaving soon. Sorry he is gone, please know that I am thinking of you and I'll keep you in my prayers too.
That first picture of you and your husband is so beautiful. I hope the time will just fly by and you'll be able to hold each other like that again.
Those are great pictures!! I can't imagine how hard it is to take care of little ones while your hubby is deployed! How long will he be gone?
