Around the World in . . .

80 Days - that's right. We are down to to 80 days, 24 shifts, 2 weeks of testing, and who knows how many silent prayers of "Oh, God can we do this?"

80 seems like a drop in the bucket when compared to 856 - Yes I figured that one out.

Lilyisms

1. “It’s okay Mommy. Daddy is a good finder. He can look for it when he gets home.”

2. Ok, so this one has happened on several occasions. I think I have learned my lesson. Lily was hunched over very quietly. Me: “What are you doing? (in a not-so-pleasant tone)” “I’m praying for your back Mommy!” She, indeed, was praying and not getting into trouble.

3. From school: What is special about your family? “They have clean hearts.” I asked her about this. She said, “When we do bad things, our hearts get dirty and we have to ask Jesus to forgive us. You help me have a clean heart.”

4. “I like spending time with you, Daddy!”

5. “Daddy, are you going on rotation? I don’t want you to leave,”

6. “Oh, I hope there are some surprises in there!” She was VERY excited. Said as I was getting ready to change GA’s diaper. GA had not been having too many “surprises” for us and we were starting to get slightly worried

How did that happen?

I mean - getting so behind in updates and pictures that you don't realize you posted your September pics as August pics. I suppose that is what an infant (going through a growth spurt while you are nursing all while she is recovering from a kidney infection) will do to you.

Here are the August 2010 pics on FB.

I have decided that I need to start blogging once a week as a sort of therapy. It helps me track my accomplishments and appreciate the beautiful moments in the midst of the not-so-beautiful moments. I'll see what day will work best for me over the next week or so.

Steve has 34 more shifts and a total of 94 more days until graduation!!!!!!!!
