We have had quite a week. I am not sure if it is a good or bad week. Mike left this week for Latvia and he will be gone about 3 weeks. The kids really miss him and Kenna asks for him all the time. She told me today "Mommy, daddy can't come home because he is a Maween (Marine) and he is workin." she is so sweet and so smart. Jimmy has had a monumental week too. Mike and I were discussing the stage of life that we are in right now in relation to this "deployment" and so I said to him, "it is too bad you are gonna miss Jimmy's first steps just like you did Kenna's." No sooner did I get out the video camera and start prepping it to catch his first steps, I plug in the battery and sure enough, Jimmy stands up and walks. It is as if he was calling me a liar or something. so anyways Mike got to see his first steps in person. And Jimmy is walking.So if nothing else this week has been very filled with emotions. We have had a lot of family and good friends checking on us to make sure we are ok. It has been good for us. This time has been harder for me. I think because of the kids and also because of there being no contact with Mike. At least when he went to Iraq I would hear from him every so often. Well that is it for now. There will be more soon I am sure.
