T.G.I.F.

Well, once again here it is already Friday. This last week flew by so fast. I hope that the next 11 fly by just as fast. Danny left Wednesday morning for some National Guard schooling and won't be home until April 17th. So, I've been a little sad the last few days without him, it's just kind of lonely and quiet without him around. But we've been doing pretty good and hanging in there. After the first week is over, we should be pretty adjusted to life without him. This isn't the first time we've done this nor will it be the last. Unlike last week being kind of hard to come up with blessings, this week I feel completely different. I realize that I have so many blessings in my life.

1. I am so grateful for ward members and friends who have brought me meals and offered me meals while we have been sick and having had Danny just leave. It's been a huge relief not to have to make something for dinner the last few nights. I feel so grateful to you all for your generosity and thoughtfulness, it was so appreciated and very, very yummy. Thanks!
2. I am very thankful for my family and friends who have called or I have called them to just talked. It's really nice to be able to just talk so I don't have to sit in silence with my thoughts straying to Danny and having the tears start rolling. So, thank you everyone for talking to me and putting up with it, I promise it will lessen as I get used to this again. I am so grateful I have such a great family and friends to help me out.
3. Finally, I am grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who watches out for His children in their time of need. I am so glad that He is there for me and am forever indebted to Him for taking care of me and my family. I feel so fortunate at this time because I know it's through His hand that things are working out how they are. It is His strength that I am leaning on to get through this separation and endure the loneliness. Because, I know I can turn to Him, I know that I can get through this time. With Him all things are possible.
   

Standing Tall

I can't believe that my baby is standing up. He would stand all day if I let him. He likes to hold my hands and just stand, but the catch is he has to be facing me. But now he's starting to pull up on to things. He has started pulling up on his crib rail and standing up so needless to say I have to keep the railing up on the crib because I like to keep it down because I'm short and I need it down to get the babies in their cribs. Anyways, these pictures are of my precious little guys standing up, I'm just not ready for this to begin.
