Left Behind

Can I just tell you that being left behind stinks? Mike left today for Colorado for our annual NYR trip, and besides the fact that I wanted very badly to go, I hate being lonesome at home. I'm working on praying my way through this and lightening my attitude for the kids' sake because Natalee's having a hard enough time dealing without having her beloved daddy around but golly is it quiet around here. I know some of ya'll are home by yourselves all day everyday and some of you even have traveling husbands but that's not what we're accustomed to around here so this is very hard for us. I'm not really worried about "handling" the kids but more about helping Natalee cope and giving both kids equal attention for their individual needs. Pray for my sanity, pray for Mike's trip & the lives impacted, and pray that this week goes quickly but that no precious moment spent with my kids passes me by in my busyness.

My Son

My Dear Son,
I'm working so hard so that you don't get "second child syndrome"...you know--not as many pictures, blog posts, memories. Let me tell you, it ain't easy! Already you've been shorted blog posts but please know it's because I'm working extra hard to spend all my time with my loves--you and your sister--and things such as blogging and posting pictures have taken a back burner to rocking, nursing, reading books, singing, snuggling, and kissing. Never fear, son, because no matter how many posts about you there are (or lack of) I love you with all that I am. You and sissy are my greatest joys. That said, before I go to bed, here are a few memories for the readers (& you, sweet boy)...

you look sooo tiny in your car seat!

you're quite possibly the CUTEST sleeper I've ever seen!
