March 15th...
Well, we survived a month out of this deployment. Only 11 more to go. We aren't sure yet when his R and R will be, but finding that out will make it even less until we get to see him again. It's the silver lining around a dark lonely cloud, swollen to the max, threatening to rain heartbreak and sadness over our lives every single day. But...silver is silver right? If that's all I get right now, I will take it!
I think this picture if proof that the kids and I can do this for the time being. We are a very strong family and we take care of each other (Derrick included.) I was nervous to bathe the kids together because I didn't want Averi to slip in her seat while I was tending to Cael. But they both did great, Averi LOVED seeing her big brother in the bath tub with her! He gave her all his toy shapes one by one and filled her little tub. After she was all clean I sat her up in the bigger part of the tub so she could splash around...she didn't. Just smiled. That's alright. Smiles are the best medicine for lonely days and the three of us make sure to give them out like candy.
