Last year

Is it weird to anyone else that this EXACT time last year we were leaving the Hertel House after a week long visit.  Little did they know we would be bacccckkkk....in a big way a year later :)

Rainy Day

Since Kevin left we have had absolutely gorgeous weather - it finally has gotten to the point where we turned our heat off and for 2 whole weeks the sun has shined EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.  Mommy was almost craving a rainy day.  Imagine my delight when some rain clouds started rolling in today after the kiddos woke up from their naps.  We just sat on the bench watching cars go by and the big dark clouds move over our house until it finally started raining :)  



To the kiddos delight Mommy let them play in it...cause it smelt so good and felt so good for it to be warm enough to let them play in it.  They were super excited & for whatever reason I was excited enough to play with them.  

Maybe I just feel like a weight has been lifted with my new found Plan B :)

Plan B

Plan B looks like this:

 I am packing up the house.

• Kevin arrives on May 22nd to help load the UBox's we ordered

• We say good-bye to our unsold house 

• Kevin flys back to Houston, TX - with the kiddos May 26th, sans Moma. 

• I begin my drive to Texas May 26th/May 27th. Make some key stops ... Mary, Fatema, Katie get ready!

• We live with my 'rents (eeeek! lol) until our CT house sells and we buy our new house

Not ideal but the other option wasn't ideal either.  'least we'll be together as a family.

FYI: for all those who were curious - Reagan's 2nd Birthday will be postponed until I arrive in Texas.  There will be no mention of her birthday until then well I might reminisce some in the coming weeks....

Big helpin' Monday

This morning Reagan helped me make some muffins & this afternoon Logan helped me mow the lawn :)

Week 2

Tomorrow will mark uncharted territory - since Logan was born we have never, as a family, been apart longer than 2 weeks & if I can remember correctly 2 weeks away has only happened once and that was the lovely epic viral "vacation" me & the kiddos just had in Houston with the Hertels.

This weekend was rough.  Not because of one single thing but because of a combination of a lot of little things.  The kiddos might be kinda sick?  They aren't sleeping well - Friday night they took shifts sleeping with Mommy which means I didn't sleep, at all.  I don't operate very well short on sleep...so you can imagine how Saturday went & Sunday was kind enough to hold some leftover crumminess for me. 

Long story short.  We are planning a plan to get me out a little sooner than the original plan A had in store.  

Hello plan B.
More details to come, when more details are known.

Here are the very few smiles I got outta them today this weekend.  This bubble machine that Isa sent promised hours of fun.  I got 10mins.  But it was pretty cool - thank you Isa :)

Miss you Daddy.
