Crazy kids with cars!

Earlier this week while we were at wal-mart Jacob decided that he needed to buy Caleb a new toy. I get this impulse and the reasoning behind it, so off we marched to the toys, despite the fact that Caleb has more toys than he knows what to do with. After much deliberation on Jacob's part we ended up with a remote control car, a purple charger to be exact, and Caleb is in love with it. He has played with it so much that the batteries had finally died and he brought it to his daddy to put new ones in it. Oh my, has he had fun this evening, and not just Caleb either. Jacob and Caleb played with that car in the kitchen and Caleb was cracking up! He would try to run over Jacob with it and ran into walls, tables, chairs, and pretty much anything in his way. It was so nice to see them having so much fun together! I'm going to miss this when Jacob leaves, but its only for a little while this time and we will make it! All in all this has been a wonderful evening with some great family time. What more could a wife and mother ask for?

See, another post! Aren't you all proud?! I'll write again later. Probably not tomorrow, but almost certainly the day after. May you all be blessed!

Soooo.... I've been neglecting....

Yes, I have been naughty! It has been ages since I posted. I've been both slothful and neglectful. I intend to do better from here on out. Note the intend part of that last sentence. I am leaving myself room for sickness, extenuation circumstances, and small bouts of sloth. Still, I will do my best to post more frequently and stop wasting good cyberspace.
So much has happened since I last posted. This deployment is WELL over half way over and we are coming to the end of Jacob's leave as I type. We still have a several days left, but of course, its never enough. Still, its like a balm to my soul just to be in his presence. I've been without him for seven months, I can do three more, especially now that I've gotten to spend some time with him. We've not really done anything that exciting, but just hanging out with him is enough. Sitting here at the computer while he watches yet another program on The History Channel and has a beer. It is truly wonderful! I dread going back the the airport and leaving him there. Again, I have gone seven months without him so another three months I can handle.
I will state again that I will do my best from here on out to post more frequently. I apologize for not posting in so long! May God bless you all!
