the time has come

Well....the time has come. Jacob started the academy on Feb. 2. He was gone for 10 days and I only spoke with him 2 times. That was probably the longest 10 days I have ever encountered. I cried some....and some more. It is very hard having my husband...my best friend...leave for 10 days. Bottom line, I miss him.

I must say that God provided a great distraction. Thank goodness for children and work....and family to keep me sane! My parents and in laws have been a huge blessing!
Jacob did get to come home this last weekend. We spent a very short 4 days together. 2 weeks down, 20 to go. I am so very proud of him. He told me lots of stories....wow! (the things he is going through seems tough - mentally and physically)

the children are doing well. Ayden is excelling in school and I am so proud of him. He will be playing baseball again this spring. We are all excited about that. Cooper is 4 months old. His growth and development is right on track! He is rolling all over the floor. I will post a picture this week and share my 2 beautiful boys with you all.

as always, continue to pray for us!
