we laugh we cry

her daddy was not here for her first performance

she was mama bear in the play at school

she has practiced her lines all week

and he wasn't there...

the ship has left again.

we had him home for Christmas which was lovely

now he's off again

the life of a Navy family

P A T I E N C E

the smiles do come...they just need a little coaxing from Mom

these images were taken at night on a dark staircase...they aren't perfect quality

but the memories are what is important

she had a rough night...she informed me her nose quit working

a nasty head cold

so now I have three sick little loves

my oldest has pneumonia and has been home all week {hence the lack of blogging}

my middle one is on the couch asleep...he fell asleep at 3pm...it's now 7:30pm...he's still asleep

should be a interesting night...
