(Christmas Morning)
(Annual New Years Eve Silly String and Confetti Party)
Randy has been off since the end of December and is going to stay home with us till he leaves the end of June. Did I forget to mention ? Randy is getting whisked away to sunny San Diego for 5 months for training then from there goes right to Norfolk, VA. He wont be back home in between. Me and the kids will be staying here in freezing cold Wisconsin. Ack. This is going to be a huge adjustment to the kids. Everyday I wonder if this Daddy Leaving lifestyle crap with damage our kids in some way. I feel like I'm not equipped to handle their emotions for it. I don't know how to make them feel better about it, because I don't even know how to make me feel better about it. Its going to be a bumpy year for us. God I hope we are making the right choice. The economy sucks... people are losing their jobs... I get that. But me and the children will not see Randy more than 7 months in the next year and a half. That sucks in so many ways.
Anyway... onto more pleasant things. Here are the kids with their new crayon books. Made by Beth over at http://www.etsy.com/shop/weepereas
Wyatt is a wise little man. Emma is a little smart ass. I love it. Shes talking a lot more lately. She is such a feisty spitfire. Wyatt is maturing way to fast for my liking. So analytical and literal. He is a very smart little guy.

Ok. As far as my kids go. These videos rock. Emma's is... well... so freakin Emma. No one pouts like that child. The second is Wyatt. He NEVER sings. I mean NEVER. Ever. ever. So this was amazing to hear. A true choral delight.
