Love my Rainy Days at Home

 

I love, love, LOVE  rainy days.  I always have, but I especially love them now that I am staying at home with my girls.  Today was so much fun!  For some reason when it rains, we rummage through the house finding different things to do and we do everything a little bit quieter.  Not to mention, we snuggle tons all day!  This morning we made cinnamon rolls, built a fort, played with the ice cream play dough factory, played games, watched a movie and made Madelyn's Valentines box for school all in our pjs :). We still have a few finishing touches, but it turned out pretty well.

   

Right now I am loving how the girls are getting so close.  Emily has always been enamoured with Madelyn, but now Madelyn wants baby Emily with her at all times!  This is quite the change from my jealous 3 year old I had 2 months ago.  She is very concerned with Emily's happiness, singing and entertaining her when she cries.  It truly melts my heart to watch them bond together.  I know they will be the best of friends and that makes me a very happy momma :).   

My sweet Emily will be 6 months in a few days and I had to snap a few pics at bath time tonight.  It's going too quick!!! It seems like yesterday when that was Madelyn in that tub :( and she will be 4 next week!!!!  I have to say Emily has more rolls than a bakery.  Nothing cuter than a chunky baby :)

    

That Dreaded Time Again

It's hard...... Scratch that it's devastating every time we say goodbye for so many reasons.  I guess the news we got while Robin was here this last time really hit home.  Knowing that I might kiss my husband goodbye and it could be the last time became a little more real.  One of Robin's friends he had worked with for many years was involved in a car accident coming home from a job and passed away.  The accident happened on the same roads in South Texas my husband drives to do his job.   It killed two men with wives and children here in this same town where I live. I don't think it gets any closer than living that nightmare myself.  

My husbands actual work is dangerous, compound that with driving from location to location on 2-3 hours sleep every few days makes even more dangerous.  So I have to say goodbye for 12 days and do this all by myself but knowing its just for a bit and praying he will come home to us.  Yet this is what he knows, this is our normal and this is how we support our family.

So I guess I am asking for prayers for these families that are suffering and for my husband who is once again working.  And yes every time, no matter where you are or what your significant other does when you say goodbye in the morning make it special and sweet.  

 

Even when they make this face!!!
