Better together

The past few days have been a busy past few days around here. Chris is now out of country until sometime in Jan. (we hope) He left yesterday morning and although I've only been a 'single' mom for less than 48 hours, I'm already in need of the male influence that Chris has around here. The kids temperament is just different without it. I'm different without it. It really makes me appreciate all that Chris does and is around here, and also makes me admire those single moms that work full time jobs and come home to be both mommy and daddy and take care of all the house work and maintence that is needed. I don't work and still it's tough! I am thankful though that Chris has a job he loves. God truely does provide.

So now the next step is me getting the kids ready to go visit the midwest. I'm afraid that with us now being accustomed to the desert heat, we're going to be icicles the entire time we're there, so our suitcases will be filled with sweaters! We look forward to our trip, though - we're planning on seeing family and friends that we haven't seen in a while. There is still so many family members and friends that have yet to meet Silas and Karis has yet to experience snow (we're praying for some this year)! So we hope to see many of you that live in the midwest region during our short trip to your neck of the woods!

I'm so glad that Chris is the kind of man that you can miss when he's away...means he's doing something right :-) I'm about to miss Dave for 3 weeks, and maybe longer, so I'll be thinking of you while we're both temporary single Moms. Can't wait to see you and the kids when you're here!
