It makes it easier for Erik to go do his job knowing you are so capable to handle the 'rest of it'. Keeping you and your 'whole' family lifted in prayer. Remember to take lots of photos of Olga gathering eggs, and little Gavin 'hearding' chickens. These will surely help Erik too. Don't forget to have someone take your photo too. I discovered after many deployments and 'remote' postings that I had done all the photography and there were none of me to share. God's richest blessings on your family and thank you for sharing.

He just got back in February from 13 months in Iraq, and 18 months before that was in Iraq for 7 months. yep this is the life isn't it? It takes a while for me to go into "single mom mode" but once I do, things click along really nicely. Enjoy the kids, tell your hubby every little mundane thing you do and all the cute things the kids say, and make sure you've got something to talk about when he calls so you aren't just crying. My motto while my hubby is gone is something I heard a little fish named Dori say (from Finding Nemo) "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming".

OH MY HEAVENS, Girl - My advice? 1. Carve out some alone time for yourself either early in the morning or late at night. Sage tea has a calming effect. :) 2. Enjoy every moment - even if it's crazy...I predict you will look back on this year (Hopefully only 7 months!!!!) as a milestone in your life. 3. Go back to Horseback Riding...nothing's better for your insides than the outside of a horse! (Churchill said that? Or Will Rogers...anyway - you know it's true.) EIGHT people?
