What a month!

This month as been such a challenging month.  As I explained in the last post, the dreaded flu hit our house about 3 weeks ago. We are feeling so much better now though.  The kids have been doing great.  Nolan is babbling so much and is growing too quick.  Lauren is so smart.  I know she's my kid, but she really is learning things a lot quicker than all her little 2 year old friends! Well...not all of them, but a lot of them.  Joe is finally coming home in 2 days.  This last month has been even crazier since he has been missing.  He lucked out I guess!...Im sure he would have much rather been  here helping than away from us.  He is really homesick now.  He called me this morning and woke me up excited that he is finally coming home.  They are a day ahead of us so he said he only has one more day! We really learn to appreciate one another when we are apart.  It isnt fun at the time, but it does strenthen our marriage.  We have really been blessed to be in the miliary even though it is hard at times.
