But aren’t we all? Troy has ended his leave and is now back at work. The boys and I are doing our homeschool activities while doing family things as well. Since Troy has been home, he’s fixed the lawn mower, mowed the lawn, hung some art holders, put together a shelf (that has been sitting [...]

Homecoming
August 19th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Family, navy life
Most of the homecomings I can remember have been in the mid morning. This one had been scheduled for an early-ish morning and then was pushed back into the afternoon.

One week down…
January 11th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Family, Photography, navy life
25 to go? This weekend was a good one. Jalen finished his book report and practiced his speech pretty well. We went to Church on Sunday where Pastor Jim spent some time talking to the boys. I so appreciate his sensitivity to the boys. I snapped my picture of the day of the two boys [...]

Welcome January. Month of new possibilities! I love fresh new starts, don’t you? I feel the same way about Mondays too, but maybe that’s because I am a stay at home mom, and don’t have a J.O.B. to check in on Mondays. Anyway. I am exhilarated with the new opportunities coming my way. I have [...]
